Password Protected Directories & Virtual Directories

I've a password protected directory /httpdocs/aree_riservate/demouser with inside a file index.htm.
If I write the address in the browser www.mysite.it/aree_riservate/demouser/index.htm of course appear the autentication windows that ask me login and password.
But If I create a virtual directory named e.g. "riservate" connected with the physical directory /httpdocs/aree_riservate/ and I write in the browser the address www.mysite.it/riservate/demouser/index.htm I can access to the page without login and password!
Why If I pass through the virtual directory the password protected directory (that, nota bene, is "demouser" and not "aree_riservate") is not protected anymore?!

Thank you.

\Sorry for my bad english!
