Francesco,

I know this does not directly address you questions or suggestion but 
though it might be of some use.

I have successfully used Zotero with OpenOffice and LibreOffice for 
several years (http://www.zotero.org/).

It is relatively intuitive and well supported.

I generate quite a few documents annually and each has a comprehensive 
bibliography. My library has 8549 references and I can readily export 
them into dozens of formats.

The program can import Bibtex files.
