Hi and welcome. We don't have an Italian section, so I'd like to ask you to talk in English here! (you can for a limited time edit your post btw)
The question is:
Many years ago I played with the game "Lillo e le gemme", ("Lillo e le gemme" is the italian name but I dont know the international name) do you know this game?
P.S. Sorry for my bad english
Your English is ok, really. As for the game.. no idea.
It's not about a carrot, is it? If not, I don't know either, scusi!
I don't speak italian, but since it's close to portuguese, I guess the name of the game should be something like "Lilo and the gem"... but never heard of nothing like it either 
The only game I have here with the word "Lilo" is a Spanish one, called "Lilo La Conquista De La Fama" (Lilo the conquer for the Fame)... don't suppose could be it?

Hmm... it sounds to me as a bootleg version of Boulderdash, since in the past years I have found TONS of tapes with a lot of different names that were actually hacked versions of that game; but maybe Enrico may know something more about this "Lillo e le gemme".
In the meantime, try to have a look at this page: http://www.generation-msx.nl/msxdb/softwareinfo/2697
(Written in Italian) Ti ricordi dove hai acquistato il gioco? In edicola? In un negozio?
Ok, I have found it:
"Lillo e le gemme" is PIPPOLS

You have found it in the Italian magazine PROGRAM MSX N. 8. You can see the tape contents here
And you can find more information about this game here: http://www.generation-msx.nl/msxdb/softwareinfo/612
Huh... wasn't this plain piracy? I mean, if as I think we're speaking about a commercial magazine in the 80's...
In '80 piracy was quite normal for magazines in Italy.
Just change the name of the game, alter the producer logo,
et voilà, a new game in your compilation is ready.
Some of them copied games not only from the original, but also each others.

I remember that some of them offering 7-8 cassette games at 10.000 Italian lire == about 5€
It wasn't only common in Italy, here in Spain there was even brand games virtually ripped from their (usually) japanese counterparts. Here's a very funny article about it. It's in Spanish; but you can easily recognize the titles:
