Date time in two rows in Italian format and time zone

Question

I have now created this MWE:

\documentclass[12pt,margin=3mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{newtxtext}
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{datetime2}
\usepackage{fontawesome5}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) node[minimum size=4cm,draw=red!60,circle,line width=2mm] {\large\textbf{\DTMnow}};
\node at (0,1) (A) {\textcolor{Green}{\Large \faCheckCircle}};
\node at (0,-1) (B) {\large \textsc{Approved}};
\end{tikzpicture}
 
\end{document}

with this output:

Using datetime2 package, how I can this italian date structure?

Answer 1

Probably this is not the most elegant solution, but you can use \DTMtoday and \DTMcurrenttime instead of \DTMnow and add the options text width=3cm and align=center to your node. In order to change the date format, you can use \DTMsetdatestyle{ddmmyyyy}. If you also want to get rid of the seconds, add the package option showseconds=false to the datetime2 package.

Full example:

\documentclass[12pt,margin=3mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{newtxtext}
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{datetime2}
\usepackage{fontawesome5}

\DTMsetdatestyle{ddmmyyyy}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) node[minimum size=4cm,
                 draw=red!60,
                 circle,
                 line width=2mm, 
                 text width=3cm,
                 align=center] 
                 {\large \bfseries \mbox{\DTMtoday} \DTMcurrenttime};
\node at (0,1) (A) {\textcolor{Green}{\Large \faCheckCircle}};
\node at (0,-1) (B) {\large \textsc{Approved}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Here is another version using the italian localization module.

\documentclass[12pt,margin=3mm,italian]{standalone}
\usepackage{newtxtext}
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[useregional=numeric,showseconds=true,showzone=false]{datetime2}
\usepackage{fontawesome5}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) node[minimum size=4cm,
                 draw=red!60,
                 circle,
                 line width=2mm, 
                 text width=3cm,
                 align=center] 
                 {\large \bfseries \mbox{\DTMtoday} \DTMcurrenttime};
\node at (0,1) (A) {\textcolor{Green}{\Large \faCheckCircle}};
\node at (0,-1) (B) {\large \textsc{Approved}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
