Ciao Massimo,

search "bendAfter chord" in the lilypond-user archives and you'll see
that you are not the first person who asks this question and gets no
reply:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/ 

So my first guess is: it's not supported.  But some expert user should
confirm it.

If I try, I get a programming error:
"must have Item for spanner bound of BendAfter"

Unfortunately, I can't find any snippet in the LSR.

You can make it work by using two voices instead of a chord:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-10/msg00610.html 

(you won't have the clashing note columns problem if each voice is
enclosed by brackets)

For example:

\version "2.14.0"

\score {
  \new Staff {
    <<
      { c1-\bendAfter #+5 }
      \\
      { g1-\bendAfter #+5 }
    >>
   }
}
