Thanks for your reply.
So, maybe it is the Fedora-Server-armhfp-26 image that doesn't
include NetworkManager-wifi plugin, that lead me to "Error: No Wi-Fi device
found." issuing the "nmcli device wifi rescan" command.
In fact:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa |grep Network
NetworkManager-1.8.0-0.2.rc2.fc26.armv7hl
NetworkManager-team-1.8.0-0.2.rc2.fc26.armv7hl
NetworkManager-libnm-1.8.0-0.2.rc2.fc26.armv7hl

Even if

[root@localhost ~]# iwconfig
...
wlan0     IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on

I will try minimal image.
Anyway my question is still valid. Is it a simple task to add packages
before inserting the SD card in the raspberry? Or it requires a lot of work
and skills I don't have?

Thanks
A.

In the minimal image there is the NetworkManager-wifi plugin, so I was able
to configure wifi.
Thank you very much.

Ciao,

Just  to follow up on this, the Server image should also have wifi for
