Rome and Italy on Central European Time
Quick answer: Rome uses CET (UTC+1) in standard time · CEST (UTC+2) during March-October.
Rome is on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Italy has one time zone, Europe/Rome, so Milan, Naples, Florence and Venice all show the same clock.
Paris, Berlin, Madrid and Amsterdam change on the same weekends, so Rome never drifts relative to them, and London stays one hour behind. 9:00 AM in Rome is 8:00 AM in London.
The gap with New York is the one to check in March and late October. 9:00 AM in Rome is 3:00 AM in New York for most of the year and 4:00 AM in the few weeks when only the US has changed.
