Each country has its own reference method for the prayer times, and in Italy we use the Muslim World League method (Fajr at 18°, Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon). Times are shown in local time (UTC+1, UTC+2 in summer) and follow daylight saving time automatically where it is used. Small differences of a minute or two with the local mosque are normal, as some mosques add a few minutes of precaution.
