Sorry but I can't write Italian, only English and Spanish.

First you should download a precompiled lzip for your system (or compile 
it from source). See a list of precompiled lzip packages at the bottom 
of http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html

Then you can decompress your file with the command:
  lzip -cd your_file.bin > your_file

Lzip is only a compressor, so the above command only decompresses 
"your_file.bin" in case it is really a lzipped file. After decompressing 
it you still need to figure out what type of file it is in order to open 
it. For this you can use the file[1] command.
