Hi giulioandrea,
That's an easy one :
Select your spline,
show control points (command-D, or object info panel),
Use the end vector points to draw a tangent line (change length & direction if necessary).
Draw a perp to this tangent if you want a normal;)

Have fun !

I actually hoped to find a more cursor based technique. But in the end it's the result that matters.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Ciao
