I started a new job where I have to work with several project built with the .NET framework 2 3 and 3.5.
Is possible to work on these projects only with visual studio 2010 or I need the older versions?

Yes, you can absolutely target .NET 2, 3.0 and 3.5 from VS2010.
I advise you to have those versions of the framework installed before you install VS2010 though. It may make no difference, but my experience is that installing related products in chronological release order is usually a good idea.
If you have colleagues working with VS2008 who need to work on the same code, that will make your life a little more interesting, but it’s still manageable. (You can share project files but not solution files, so long as you’re careful.)
