         16 . An anchoring device for connecting manufactured components for the construction of buildings, comprising an anchoring insert, which can be jointly associated with a first manufactured component and defines an anchoring seat which can be accessed from the outside of said first manufactured component through an access opening provided in a wall of said anchoring insert, and a linking element, which can engage said anchoring insert and can be associated with a second manufactured component, wherein said linking element comprises a first connecting element, which can be inserted with one of its portions in said anchoring seat through said access opening and can be locked with respect to said anchoring insert at least along a first direction which is substantially perpendicular to said wall of the anchoring insert for the transmission at least of forces oriented substantially along said first direction from said first manufactured component to said second manufactured component or vice versa, and a second connecting element, which can engage said anchoring insert and is adapted to transmit forces oriented along at least one second direction which is substantially perpendicular to said first direction from said first manufactured component to said second manufactured component or vice versa as an alternative to, or in combination with, said first connecting element. 
     
     
         17 . The device according to  claim 16 , wherein said anchoring insert comprises a profile which defines said anchoring seat and can be embedded at least partially in said first manufactured component with the outer face of said wall arranged substantially flush with the face of said first manufactured component to be directed toward said second manufactured component. 
     
     
         18 . The device according to  claim 16 , wherein said access opening is constituted by a slot which passes through said wall of the anchoring insert. 
     
     
         19 . The device according to  claim 18 , wherein said second connecting element has an engagement portion which can be inserted in said slot and can be engaged by resting against the two mutually facing larger sides of said slot. 
     
     
         20 . The device according to  claim 18 , wherein said second connecting element has contact shoulders which can engage against the outer face of said wall of the anchoring insert that is crossed by said slot. 
     
     
         21 . The device according to  claim 19 , wherein said anchoring insert has, on an inner side of said wall, laterally to said slot, contact undercuts for a locking element of said first connecting element. 
     
     
         22 . The device according to  claim 21 , wherein said first connecting element comprises a hammerhead screw; said locking element being constituted by the hammerhead of said screw, which can be inserted in said anchoring seat through said access opening and can rotate about its own axis through an angle of substantially 90° to arrange the two wings of the hammerhead so that they face said contact undercuts; said screw being provided with a shank that protrudes from said anchoring insert and can be coupled to an external nut, which is adapted to abut against the outer face of said wall of the anchoring insert and can be screwed along said stem to fasten said wings of the hammerhead against said contact undercuts. 
     
     
         23 . The device according to  claim 21 , wherein said locking element is constituted by an internal nut, which is arranged in said anchoring seat at said access opening and abuts against said contact undercuts, and in that said first connecting element comprises a screw which has a shank that can be inserted in said anchoring seat through said access opening and can engage said internal nut; said screw having a head that is adapted to abut against the outer face of said wall of the anchoring insert and being able to be screwed into said internal nut so as to fasten said internal nut against said contact undercuts. 
     
     
         24 . The device according to  claim 16 , wherein said second connecting element has a portion that is designed to be linked to said second manufactured component and is linked to said anchoring insert through said first connecting element. 
     
     
         25 . The device according to  claim 23 , wherein said first connecting element passes through a through hole defined in an abutment portion of said second connecting element which can be rested against the outer face of said wall of the anchoring insert that is crossed by said slot, said abutment portion being interposed between the head of said screw or said external nut and the outer face of said wall of the anchoring insert. 
     
     
         26 . The device according to  claim 25 , wherein said engagement portion is provided as an extension of said abutment portion along the axis of said through hole. 
     
     
         27 . The device according to  claim 25 , wherein said abutment portion is spaced from said engagement portion along a direction which is parallel to the longitudinal extension of said slot. 
     
     
         28 . The device according to  claim 18 , wherein a portion of said second connecting element that is designed to be connected to said second manufactured component is substantially plate-shaped. 
     
     
         29 . The device according to  claim 28 , wherein the portion of said second connecting element that is designed to be connected to said second manufactured component is shaped so as to have two coplanar wings which divaricate progressively in the direction of said second manufactured component. 
     
     
         30 . The device according to  claim 28 , wherein said anchoring insert is designed to be embedded at least partially in said first manufactured component so that a longitudinal axis of said slot is arranged substantially vertically, and a plane of arrangement of the portion of said second connecting element that is shaped like a plate or so as to form two wings and is designed to be connected to said second manufactured component is arranged on a substantially horizontal plane.
