Here is some more information. Tested on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65).

-- the path to desktop as text clause automatically gets the user's short name

-- into the POSIX file result. Trailing colons on POSIX file folder names are optional.

-- Script Editor : File menu : Open Dictionary : System Events : Disk-Folder-File Suite

-- has a list of these path to locations under the application resource name.

-- The use of the as alias clause tells AppleScript that the file/folder already exists, and

-- you would omit the as alias clause when the file/folder does not yet exist.

set sourceFolder to (path to desktop as text) & "PROVA:" as alias

set destFolder to (path to desktop as text) & "TEST:" as alias

display dialog (sourceFolder as text) & return & (destFolder as text)

tell application "Finder"

-- remove the '--' comment depending on move or duplicate requirement

-- move sourceFolder to destFolder with replacing

-- duplicate sourceFolder to destFolder with replacing and exact copy

end tell

return
