It shouldn't matter. Florence is antiopodal to somewhere slightly east of the Chatham Islands; on the same longtitude as the Diomede Islands.
The argument for Florence Mean Time is that when you spread the map out, you get a nice split of the Pacific on either side. It's quite beautiful actually.
- Chuktoka isn't split and stays all together on the right side of the map
- Zealandia all stays together on the right side, along with Samoa and Tokelau
It's also kinda poetic having the 'centre of time' being basically equidistant from Rome and Carthage.
On Mercator map projection, sure, but then we'd have to address that tyranny as well.
