About Borsa trading hours

The Borsa Italiana runs on Europe/Rome, currently UTC+2. Its regular session is 09:00–17:30 in Milan, 8.5 hours of continuous trading with no lunch break. The table above translates those hours into London and New York time so you can see exactly when the bell rings from wherever you follow the market.

Because the exchange keeps local time, its hours move when Milan changes its clocks for daylight saving, and since not every financial centre shifts on the same date, the gap between Borsa and other exchanges wobbles by an hour for a few weeks each spring and autumn. The live panel at the top sidesteps all of that: it reads the current offset straight from the time-zone database, so OPEN, CLOSED and the countdown are always right to the second.

What is and is not modelled: the weekly schedule and the public holidays of Italy, so on a national holiday the panel says CLOSED and the countdown skips to the next real session rather than to a bell that will not ring. Not modelled: half-days, where the Borsa opens and closes early — Christmas Eve is the usual one — and unscheduled halts, which are on nobody's calendar. On a half-day the session is drawn in full. For anything time-critical, confirm against the exchange's own calendar.
