The six-hour clock (Italian: sistema orario a sei ore), also called the Roman (alla romana) or the Italian (all'italiana) system, is a system of date and time notation in Italy which was invented before the modern 24-hour clock.
Date and time notation in Italy records the date using the day–month–year format (7 febbraio 2025 or 7/2/2025). The time is written using the 24-hour clock (19:11); in spoken language and informal contexts, the 12-hour clock is more commonly adopted, but without using "a.m." or "p.m." suffixes (7:11).

Time zones of the world. A time zone is an area which observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial and social purposes.

However, as it failed to establish itself, the traditional format (d)d.(m)m.(yy)yy was allowed again as an alternative in 2006 (except in areas where there is risk of ambiguity). The handwritten form d. mmmm yyyy is also accepted (compare DIN 5008). [citation needed] See Date and time notation in Europe.
