Undefined property: CI_Loader::$impostazioni_model - php

Question

I'm working on a calendar planning provided by [easyappointments][1] but now I'm stuck on this error by yesterday. In the main page users.php I've added the following:
<?php
require_once("application/models/impostazioni_model.php");
$this->load->model('impostazioni_model');
$this->impostazioni_model->load_colours();
?>
the require_once find correctly the file impostazioni_model.php but when I enter in the page users.php I see this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function load_colours() on a non-object
on this line: $this->impostazioni_model->load_colours();
in the class impostazioni_model.php I've this content:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('Direct execution not allowed.');
class Impostazioni_Model extends CI_Model
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function load_colours()
{
echo "print";
}
}
?>
I've followed the codeigniter documentation, in particular the class model must be in capital letter so I don't know what I'm wrong. Someone could help me out?

In Controller
Path - application/controllers
<?php
if (!defined('BASEPATH'))
exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Admin extends CI_Controller {
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('impostazioni_model'); //this will show "Print" word on browser.
}
function index() {
$this->impostazioni_model->load_colours();
}
}
In Model
Path - application/model
<?php
if (!defined('BASEPATH'))
exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Impostazioni_model extends CI_Model {
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
function load_colours() {
echo "print";
}
}
