Italy (in fact, the whole European Union) now changes at the same time as the U.S. and Canada, on the last Sunday of October. At 1 a.m., to be precise.

A good site to find answers to questions such as this is The World Clock.

We'll feature this topic for a few days as a reminder to travelers.

And NSW, ACT, Victoria, and SA start DST on the same weekend. Tasmania has already started and Queensland and NT don't have it at all.

ME TOO! Hi you all, from sunny Florence!
Marlene, it was fun!
You are sooo right! Today, Sunday, there are so many tourists around Ponte Vecchio one cannot even squeeze through! Pretty soon there will be no "high" or "low" season.
So I come back and relax on my roof top terrace, my own private little kingdom. The Queen
I knew it would be like this. I have over a week yet, but don't want to go home yet.
Enjoying what I can, and right now it's going to be a gelato! Big Grin
ciao,
Laroma

As a former night auditor I can sympathize, Maria. The only upside is that you only have to work a 7 hour shift in the spring!
