For the benefit of anybody else reading this post, the answer is NO. UK and Italian plugs are totally different.

A UK plug looks like this: https://johnlewis.scene7.com/is/image/JohnLewis/231577941?$prod_main$
An Italian plug looks like this: http://www.yunhuanelectric.com/Clkj_Images/upfile/b/AC-Power-Powr-Supply-Italian-10A-Plug.jpg

Chris, we can use 2-prong adapters for Italy, can't we? My understanding is that the 3-prong is grounded and 2-prong is not grounded.

I've seen a few European outlets that appeared to be designed to take UK-style plugs, but the traditional UK plug has blades, whereas in Italy the plugs have round prongs.

Correct. A standard 2-pin/prong Europlug non-grounded will work in Italy (photo here: https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-f55994e92f9470f1abc14c2114093e41-c )
A Europlug will not work in the UK, as you can see from the photo I linked to last time, in the UK they have square pins, not rounded ones.

A 2-pin ungrounded Europlug (like I have on my phone charger) works in all of Europe EXCEPT the UK and Ireland; 3-pin plugs are different in Italy / Switzerland / rest of Europe.
