I just received as Christmas present a Macbook Pro 15" Late 2016 with also a DELL UP2516D monitor that my friends said I should connect with the former.
The point is that I am not a computer expert as this is my first laptop and I really don't know how can I connect these two devices.
The DELL monitor comes with the following ports (product description):
DP, mDP, 2 x HDMI (MHL), 4 x USB3 with one charging port, 2 x USB3 upstream
and the MacBook Pro has got only the USB-c ports.
How do I connect my MacBook with USB-C ports to the Dell Monitor?

You'll need a dongle to go from USB-C to either: HDMI, DP/mDP. At this time they're on discount from Apple since they're new, so you'll want to buy the dongle now.
Here's a full list of Apple's UCB-C dongle choices, it's a good page to review: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204360
And here is a multi-port display adapter from Apple, which provides HDMI+USB-A+USB-C, so it may be a best bet for some folks: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MJ1K2AM/A/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter
