Rome is on GMT+2 (UTC+2) and London is on GMT+1 (UTC+1), a gap of 1 hour. Rome is ahead — so when it is 12:00 in Rome, it is already 11:00 in London. Going the other way, when it is 12:00 in London, it is only 13:00 in Rome.
For calls, video meetings or messages between Rome and London, aim for the overlap in normal waking hours on both sides rather than assuming a shared 9-to-5 — with a 1h gap, one side may need to join early morning or late evening. Business hours in London typically start later than in Rome, so scheduling around late morning to early afternoon in the behind city usually finds the widest overlap.
Note that this 1h difference reflects current UTC offsets and can shift by an hour around daylight saving time (DST) clock changes if only one city observes it.
