This sundial  shows:

 

 - the local solar  midday: the vertical line (13° 22’ 10’’ compared to

  Greenwich)

 

- the time zone midday: the line which is a bit  inclined ( 15° 00’ compared

  to Greenwich) six minutes and twentuy seconds is the time which 

  separates the first  east meridian  from Aiello.

 

“The time equation”, indicated by the lemniscata shows the adjustement of 

the irregular time due to the changeable speed of the earth during its orbit 

around the sun.
