Try with a map. At the http level:

set $arg_str $arg_option$arg_view$arg_id$arg_itemid;

map $arg_str $redirect_contact {
    default 0;
    com_contentarticle164139 1;
}

Then do at the server (vhost) level:

if ($redirect_contact) {
    return 301 $scheme://$host/listituto/contatti;
}

Remember that the argument order can change and that your rewrite
already takes the arguments in consideration. You need to add a '?' at
the end of the replacement to omit the arguments from it.
