If you are inside a k2 routine you can display the value of the first extra field of the current element like
$this->item->extra_fields[0]->value
If you can loop thru the items you can assign that statement to a variable or display it directly
Please send example code you are using and link

I´m using a simple query like
$query= mysql_query ("Select title From jos_k2_items)

I think that it is not a k2 routine because i'm using "joomla\components\com_content\views\frontpage\tmpl\default.php" to show this list on the first page (home).

Do you have any idea how to do this?

Then, look at jos_k2_items at the extra fields field. Mine is a text field with "[data,data,data]".
Somewhere k2 must parse this field. Its worth looking thru the files to find how to do this, as it could be used in many instances.
If someone knows the magic, please chime in!
