[Tex/LaTex] Remove header/footer from titlepage BEAMER

beamerheader-footer

I use Beamer for my presentation.
I am using the Berlin theme.
I would like that only the title page (first slide) did not show the header and the footer line indicating the index of the topics, the title, etc.
I tried to use [plain] just after \begin {frame} of the first slide but it takes away the university logo (I don't want to take it off).
How can I solve?
Thank you

I would like to add the University logo in the same position of all other frames (Berlin theme).

\documentclass[12pt]{beamer}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\newcommand{\pngfigspath}{./figures_png_beamer/}

\title{Indagine numerica sulle prestazioni di una turbina eolica ad asse verticale di tipo troposchiano}
\author[UniBG]{\texorpdfstring{\large Alessandro xxx\\ \small Relatore: Chiar.mo xxx\\ \small Correlatore: xxx}{Alessandro xxx}}
\date{Tesi di Laurea Magistrale, xxx}
\logo{\includegraphics[width=20mm]{\pngfigspath Uni}}
\institute[Uni]{Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria meccanica\\Università xxx}

\usetheme{Berlin}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}%[plain]
    \maketitle
\end{frame}

\end{document}

You have to temporarily deactivate the headline and footline templates for the titlepage and then reinstate the ones from the Berlin theme afterwards. The command to set a specific template is \setbeamertemplate and you already found out that headline/footline are the corresponding ones you need to change.

To clear them, just call \setbeamertemplate{headline}{} and to reinstate them call \setbeamertemplate{headline}[miniframes theme], be aware to use the right brackets!

Here is how to use it in an extended MWE of yours:

\documentclass[12pt]{beamer}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\title{Indagine numerica sulle prestazioni di una turbina eolica ad asse verticale di tipo troposchiano}
\author[UniBG]{\texorpdfstring{\large Alessandro xxx\\ \small Relatore: Chiar.mo xxx\\ \small Correlatore: xxx}{Alessandro xxx}}
\date{Tesi di Laurea Magistrale, xxx}
\logo{\includegraphics[width=20mm]{example-grid-100x100bp}}
\institute[Uni]{Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria meccanica\\Università xxx}

\usetheme{Berlin}

\begin{document}

\setbeamertemplate{headline}{}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}{}

\begin{frame}%[plain]
    \maketitle
\end{frame}


\setbeamertemplate{headline}[miniframes theme]
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[miniframes theme]

\section{Section}
\subsection{Subsection}
\frame{A frame}
\frame{Another frame}

\end{document}

And this is the title page and first slide:

[Tex/LaTex] How to achieve this Beamer style

I defined a footline template inspired by the one used by the infolines outer theme, containing the required fields. The new template is called myfootline and you activate it by using

\setbeamertemplate{footline}[myfootline]

The code:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme[]{Berlin}
\usecolortheme{beaver}  % red color

\makeatletter
\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{myfootline}
{
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor\expandafter\beamer@ifempty\expandafter{\beamer@shortinstitute}{}{~~\insertshortinstitute}
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,right]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{date in head/foot}\insertshortdate{}\hspace*{2em}
    \insertframenumber{} / \inserttotalframenumber\hspace*{2ex} 
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}
\makeatother
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[myfootline]

\title{The title}
\author[The author (author@tex.sx)]{The author \\\href{mailto:author@tex.sx}{author@tex.sx}}
\institute{The Institution}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\maketitle
\end{frame}

\section{A test section}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{A test frame title}
test
\end{frame}

\end{document}

And a close-up to the footline:

Since the footline now has too much information, perhaps you'll need to adjust the width of the beamercolorboxes used in the template.

As for question 2, I think it is not really on-topic here since it concerns a problem related to specifics of image formats manipulation and not to (La)TeX itself. However, in our sister site Graphic Design you can find some answers to this question; see, for example Add transparency to an existing PNG or Making the background of an image transparent.

[Tex/LaTex] How to align objects within a side bar in beamer

You can use a minipage, if you know the width of the sidebar. Then, \centering works as expected.

\documentclass[serif]{beamer}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\linespread{1.05} 

\author{Lorem ipsum}
\title{Lorem ipsum}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
 \usetheme[hideallsubsections,left,width=2cm]{Marburg}

\usecolortheme{rose}
 \setbeamercolor{titlelike}{bg=structure,fg=white}

\logo{ \rule{1.4cm}{1.5cm}}%\includegraphics[height=1.5cm]{Logo.png}}

  \setbeamertemplate{sidebar left}{
\begin{minipage}{2cm}
\centering
      \vspace{-2\baselineskip}
      \insertlogo

      \vspace{\baselineskip}
      \color{white}{\insertshorttitle[width={2cm},center,respectlinebreaks]}

\insertshortauthor[width={2cm},center,respectlinebreaks] \vspace{\baselineskip}

\insertverticalnavigation{2cm}

\vspace{4\baselineskip}

\insertframenumber

\end{minipage}
  }
