The front is easy to adjust:

1) Set the height so that the cage clears the large chainring by 1mm.
2) Put the bike in first gear, making sure the front shift cable is slack.
3) Loosen the set screw on the cage and adjust the lateral position of the front derailleur cage so that its inside edge clears the chain by a couple of mm. Adjust its rotation so that the cage roughly follows the profile of the outer chainring.
4) Now shift into the highest gear and adjust the front derailleur's limit screw so that the cage's outer edge clears the chain by a couple of mm.

The rules are pretty much the same for the Campagnolo Gran Sport and Valentino.
