The problem is regarding the "/home/gianluca" access.
In fact... if you create a simple document and you add a bibtex database... and after you edit the .lyx file outside lyx with a texteditor... and change the line
bibfiles "/Users/gianluca/tmp/Articoli/databaseAll"
with a line that try to access to "/home/" directory on Mac
bibfiles "/home/gianluca/tmp/Articoli/databaseAll"
It will crash.
But if you change to another directory it will not crash even if the file doesn't exist. Maybe the problem could be in the fact that I can't even list the "/home/" directory on Mac
In fact, on apple terminal this is what I get:

Mac:~> ls /home/gianluca
ls: /home/gianluca: Input/output error

I'm forwarding this to LyX devel. I still can't cause the crash, but (a) I'm on Linux and (b) I use English. But we need to investigate it.

Can you file a bugzilla report about this, too?

I cannot duplicate this. In the terminal, I get:

> ls /home
ls: /home: No such file or directory

Compared with Gianluca's result, it looks like there's something wrong with his system.

Running LyX on the modified file, I get an output produced with no bibliography. When I export and run BibTeX on the file, I get:

I couldn't open database file /home/Bibdatabase.bib
---line 16 of file testing.aux
 : \bibdata{/home/Bibdatabase
 :                           }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
