Italicum is an educational app that explains the historical Italian timekeeping system, also known as 'Ora Italica' or 'Bohemian Hour'. This system measured the day starting from sunset, a practice used in Italy and other parts of Europe from the 14th to the 18th century.
In the 'Ora Italica' system, the day begins at sunset. The 24 hours are counted from this point, meaning the hour number changes with each sunset. This is different from the modern system where the day starts at midnight.
The 'Ora Italica' system was adopted in Italy and also in Poland, Bohemia, and historical regions of Silesia. It was in use from the 14th century until the late 18th century, when it was replaced by the modern timekeeping system.
