How Much daylight in Italy in Summer?
 
We are tentatively planning a trip to Italy next summer, either June or July...Probably, Tuscany, Liguria and the Lakes. How much daylight is there at this time? I tried to do a search on this topic, but couldnt find anything.
Thank you for the help.

Try http://www.sunrisesunset.com/. I did a search for Florence for June. There are about 15 hours of daylight. Sunrise is at 5:30 am and sunset at 8:30 pm, with twilight is at 9:35 pm. Will be a few minutes shorter in July.

Clarification:
Sorry, I meant to ask when does it get dark....
I live in San Diego where it gets dark at around 830pm in the summer, but we went to the Northwest this summer where it didnt get dark until 10pm...It makes a big differenc in what you can do in a day...
Thank you elberko! I will check out that website.

Debi,

When we were there in July, it wasn't dark until about 9:45 p.m. It really made for a nice, long day to get things done since daybreak was at 5:30 a.m. The info Cicernone gives hits the nail on the head. After sunset, it is still daylight until nearly 10 p.m.

Rome is located at latitude 42, which is the same latitude as Chicago.
42 degrees is also the boundary between California and Oregon and between Idaho and Nevada. It also goes right through Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Milan is at 45.5 degrees north latitude, which is the same, almost, as Minneapolis=St. Paul and Portland Oregon.
It is a little farther north than Detroit.
So you can figure it from there.

Right now Rome is running 14 hours of daylight.6:13 sunrise, 8:16 sunset.

New York is at 6:02 and 8:00 PM.
Almost exactly 14 hours.

It will be about 15 hours on June 21.

There are quite a few calculators on internet that give sun rise and sun set. 0

Thank you very much Cicerone and Statia.
That's exactly what I needed to know.
When we went on our vacation this year in Seattle/Portland area it was nice to know that you could sleep in a little and still have a long day left to explore..

Unless you are on a west coast beach, the sun will set half an hour or so earlier than what the tables say it will.
