Inside ANY of the configuration files, to be clear. Users generally have a specific conf file in /etc/httpd/user/user.conf and this is what you would need to put a <Location> in.
To do hat you want though, the simplest solution is to put a htaccess file in the folder you want to protect.

You're right, but I want to access several repos with the same WebSVN
installation, so I need a different [repo].passwd for each repo; this is
why I was triing the location section in the first instance. Waiting for
a solution (if there's one) I've put a .htpasswd in the WebSVN root
folder which contain a merge of all repos .passwd, but in this way every
user can open every repo, and I don't want that if possible.
bye,
Iacopo

WebSVN is a set of PHP scripts, that you install somewhere on your filesystem.
So technically the OP could just dump the following .htaccess file in
the top WebSVN directory:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Repository svn"
AuthUserFile /home/liberenote/svn/materiale.passwd
Require valid-user

No, it is not, because in the OP's case there is not really a directory
to protect and to put a .htacess file inside of.
It is a URL that needs protecting, so it has to be done via a <Location>
section.
Unfortunately, if the Ophas no access to the Apache configuration files,
then he has a problem.
