Italy alternates between Central European Time (Italian: Tempo dell'Europa Centrale, UTC+01:00) and Central European Summer Time (Italian: Orario Estivo dell'Europa Centrale, UTC+02:00), because it follows the European Summer Time annual Daylight saving time (Italian: ora legale) procedure. As such Italy begins observing Central European Summer Time at 02:00 CET on the last Sunday in March and switches back to Central European Time on the last Sunday of October since 1996.
