What happens to my existing visa if I get another visa from the same country?

I am holding a C type Schengen visa received from Italy, valid from August 2017 to February 2018. On November 2017, I received another visa from Italy, this time D type National visa (not Schengen); it's for work purposes and it is valid for 1 year. Did my C type visa lose its validity after the issue of the National visa?

It does not matter.

Your D visa gives you extended rights to stay in Italy and has for all practical purposes the same validity as a C visa in all other Schengen countries.

Can I have 2 visas at the same time Europe?

In theory, it is not possible for a person to hold two valid short stay visas covering the same period. I have a valid Schengen visa but it does not cover my next intended stay, what can I do? In this case, it is possible to file a visa application for another Schengen visa to cover the next intended stay entirely.
