Golden and blue hour in Naples: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Naples (40.8518, 14.2681) and the Europe/Rome timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 36 minutes in March and 44 in December — schedule "an hour" and you are wrong in both.

Fitting the window into the shoot day
The evening window is the reliable half: the crew is warmed up, the setup exists, and golden hour is the last slot before wrap. The morning window right after sunrise (until 06:13 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 05:32.
After sunset, Naples still offers the blue hour: from 20:57 to 21:10 in June (13 minutes). If you need both looks on one evening, everything from the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour is one continuous window — with no room for a re-rig inside it.
Frequently asked

How long does golden hour last in Naples?
Between 36 minutes (March) and 44 minutes (December) in the evening. The name misleads — it never actually reaches a full hour here.
How accurate are the times?
To about one minute (standard NOAA-style solar computation). Not included: horizon shading from buildings or hills to the west — which can genuinely shorten the window at your location.
