Explanation:
ai tempi literally means "formerly", but with the present tense it is very likely to be "at present", though the grammatical construction is not that clear! sorry for not being very accurate :(

Explanation:
Formerly would be good for "ai tempi del duce" o "ai tempi
della regina Elisabetta". Juste like in French "Aux temps de..." We are talking of the remote past. It means, in my opinion, from time to time/sometimes/occasionally.
MAYBE the author is not a native speaker of Italian?
