Solstice

Check with a couple of days late, but I was reading the Wikipedia page on the solstice and I was struck by the difference in daylight hours between Milan and Catania .. I did not expect that the difference was so large:

Milan: 45 ° 27'50 .98 "N 9 ° 11'25 .21" E
Catania: 37 ° 31'0 "N 15 ° 4'0 "E

The difference between the coordinates is equivalent to almost 50 minutes more light (morning)
