The number is due to citeref
, which adds the list of pages where the reference item has been cited.
Remove the call
\usepackage{citeref}
and, before recompiling, delete the .aux
file, otherwise you'll get spurious errors due to the commands that are not recognized any more.
The .aux
file will be automatically recreated. Run BibTeX again, just to be sure, and the number (back references) won't appear any more.
The renaming of the bibliography section is obtained by
\addto\captionsitalian{\renewcommand{\refname}{Bibliografia}}
because you're using babel
.
Assuming you want to stick with natbib
-style citation commands and BibTeX and wish to adhere to the current set of formatting guidelines of the APA, you may want to look into (a) loading the apacite
package with the option natbibapa
and (b) specifying apacite
as the bibliography style. Passing the option natbibapa
to the apacite
package ensures that you can continue to use \citet
and \citep
.
Assuming you're also loading the babel
package with the option ngerman
, this setup should give you German-based citation call-outs and bibliography formatting features.
After making these changes, be sure (a) to delete all aux files and (b) rerun LaTeX, BibTeX, and LaTeX twice more so that the changes are propagated fully.

Best Answer
I'd recommend you to use the Elsevier version of the APA style instead of apacite. You can download the template with bibliography styles from Elsevier.com/LaTeX. The following will approximate apacite:
