Hi Fabio,

sorry, my first advice was bad. In the meantime I have played around
with columns and everything is working as expected. There are several
problems in your source. The first is, that you have to use

\setuplayout[grid=yes]

Read about grid snapping of headers in the details.pdf manual and look
into the columns environment (defined at the beginning of the columns
manual).

You can then adjust the headers (2 lines high) vertically by using the
'grid' parameter.

The problem with the graphic placing results from using \startcolumns
instead of \startcolumnset (see example in columns.pdf).

I attach my working example.

Greetings, Peter
