Test rules at Ca' Foscari
The recognised certifications page says certificates are valid if submitted within five years of the date they were achieved, longer than the two years many universities allow. Certificates must clearly state the level achieved, and a certificate showing a failed higher level is not accepted as proof of a lower one. The pages do not mention the Home Edition or MyBest scores.
On the same certifications page, IELTS B2 is 5.5 to 6.5.

If your TOEFL score falls short
The English competence page says bachelor's students (from 2013/2014 onwards) must also pass the CLA B2 English certificate to graduate, and all bachelor's students must prove B1 by 30 September of the year after enrolment or receive an additional learning requirement (OFA) in English.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Ca' Foscari programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
