Description
On 15 March 1964 La Stampa, an Italian daily newspaper, published a news by Nicola Adelfi telling us that the Italian Goverment (minister Medici) was going to adopt Daylight Saving Time (ora legale) by 1966, as eventually happened. The news reports economical and psycological benefits from that.
At that time only UK, Ireland and Portugal were changing clocks seasonally in Europe: WET (UTC+0) in winter and WEST (UTC+1) in summer. During the spring/summer seasons time in Europe, from Poland to Ireland was set to the same UTC+1 time zone.
The news also reports the Medici's plan to move to permanent summertime later on. This was never accomplished.
