As Scott pointed out, right now it's not possible on a direct way, but you
can use LibreOffice's own tools to "tag" text in italic and then use the
"paste as LaTeX" option on LyX. It goes like this:
- On Writer, make a copy of the document (don't work on the original!)
- Open the search and replace tool (Ctrl-H)
- On the Search box, write the following, complete with parenthesis: (.*)
- With the cursor still on the search box, enable "Regular Expressions"
and, under Format, select Italics (you'll see the word Italic bellow the
search box)
- On the Replace box, write \emph{$1}
- Replace
You'll see that all the italic text will be surrounded with the \emph{?}
tag. Now, you can copy the text to the clipboard and go to LyX ? Edit ?
Paste Special ? Paste as LaTeX.
Of course, for short texts it's not worth doing all that, but for longer
texts, it works pretty well.

Thanks to you both, this method works like a charm. I was thinking about
converting the Libreoffice-HTML to LaTeX but this is much easier. It
really saves me time!
