Colnect is good about including 'expiration' dates for demonetized stamps.

Yes, Italian stamps in lire or lire & euros are still valid.

Since the original question appears to have come to a satisfactory resolution, I hope no one takes offense if I stray, slightly, to say

Hi Kim! Hi Ningpo!
The Italian Post Office web site, http://www.poste.it/, says, for both mail within Italy and for abroad:
I francobolli con il valore espresso in lire o in lire/euro possono essere ancora utilizzati...
i.e. stamps with values expressed in lire or in lire/euros can still be used...

I suppose they must have some sort of published conversion table for this purpose?

This arrived today from Eetalee, complete with a whole gaggle of stamp fodder. I am not amused, as the tight wad seller has used stamps denominated in Lira and not Euros. Or am I over-reacting?
