What is the type of the Scheme expression #{ \markup "ciccio" \markup
"ciccio" #} supposed to be?  It cannot be a markup, because there are
two.

And how should I do if I need to specify two markups?

You can create a markup list from two markups.  You can also combine two
markups in various ways (sometimes by first putting both in a markup
list) into a single markup (\combine, \line, \concat, \column and so
on).

It's your choice.  But just waving your hands and telling the computer
"well, do _something_" <https://youtu.be/gGg7qF02vHM?t=155> is not
likely to make a programming language like Scheme happy.
