Can't answer the question, (Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, yes, but not Italy) but one way of finding out would be to locate a guidebook of the period (most second hand bookshops have a few old Baedekers) which would tell you. Don't worry too much about the exact year - currencies were pretty stable then.

not too sure...but the last time lire were in circulation, 5000 Lire would equate around �2.20p.

When Italy adopted the Euro as currency, 5000 lire equated to 2.58 euros. Source: http://www.oppo.it/utilita/euro_lire.htm

Using the tourist rate currently shown on BBCi, that equates to �1.86.
