Subject: [CR]When did Simplex stop making parts in Italy?

I'm trying to date my hoary Girardengo. It has a tube-mounted, Simplex front derailleur lever that says it was made in Italy. Knowing when Simplex quit making parts in Italy would give me a "not more recent than" time frame to narrow my dating and parts search, if I continue this slip into bipsychosis and rehab it. Any exact, or approximate, recollection would be helpful. Also, might Simplex have a corporate history indicating this sort of thing?
