Italian scientists are calling on the government to extend daylight saving time to the whole year to cut energy bills, reduce pollution and improve people's health, the head of a medical body told Reuters on Friday. Like most countries, Italy turns its clocks back by an hour every autumn, allowing for lighter mornings, and puts them forward in the spring, giving lighter evenings. Alessandro Miani, president of the Italian Society of Environmental Medicine (Sima), said using summer time all year round would result in an annual saving for Italy of 500 million euros ($500 million) at current gas prices, and a cut in emissions of 200,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
