LaTeX: how to include a minted pygmentized piece of code in a figure environment, with three minipage in a row

Sometime we want to put two, three or more LaTeX objects side by side on one row. For example we want to put more figures one next to the other. Or we want to build complex figures gathering under one "figure" environment more objects like formatted text, images and highlighted source code using pygmentize and minted. Here below you will find a working example.
The same example is valid if we want to put fancy texts side by side like inside boxes, because the \fbox command does not allow to use complex-formatted text inside.

Here what you get




and here below the code to generate it.

ATTENTION!!!! Pay attenion to not insert empty lines in the source code between minipages!! Otherwise you will get the minipage environment put in a vertical column: because the empty lines will be evaluated as "new line" breaks. I say it here because I waisted some hours looking for this "bug"!!! ;-D :-P
