TeX Live does have apacite, but unless you are sending things to an 
APA journal, it's probably not worth dealing with.  A better solution 
is to use natbib and the apalike.bst file, which are part of gwTeX 
and TeX Live.  This will produce APA style references that will 
probably satisfy all but the most picky.

so:

\usepackage{natbiib}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}

\bibliography{miabibliografia}
