That is correct. But we would need to go into detail for that. They decline for instance old Italian ID cards shown here. They don't have sufficient security features and you can easily copy them. Why they are still valid in Europe for travelling remains a mystery for me. From Italy you need to bring a new electronic one shown here. This can be true also to old documents from other countries.

All valid passports are accepted from all European nations, but only from some overseas countries for PostID. All uptodate ID cards with photo security from Europe are accepte. But not very old ones without these electronic security features and some European countries don't issue ID cards at all like the UK for instance. Then you have to bring a passport, a driving license is not sufficient.
