Italy Public Holidays 2025 — Full List with Dates

Italy's 2025 public holiday calendar is extraordinary for late April and early May. Easter Monday (Pasquetta, 21 April) is followed by Liberation Day on Friday 25 April — automatic three-day weekend. Then Labour Day (1 May) falls on a Thursday — ponte on Friday 2 May for another four-day break. Five public holidays and ponte opportunities cluster into just 11 days from 21 April to 2 May, making this the most holiday-rich spring fortnight in Italy's 2024–2031 window.

Republic Day (2 June) falls on a Monday — automatic three-day weekend for Italy's civic holiday, marked by the military parade on Via dei Fori Imperiali in Rome. Ferragosto (15 August) falls on a Friday — another automatic three-day summer long weekend.

All Saints' Day (1 November) falls on a Saturday — absorbed into the weekend. The Immaculate Conception (8 December) falls on a Monday — automatic long weekend. Christmas Day (25 December) is a Thursday and St Stephen's Day (26 December) is a Friday — natural four-day festive break.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is Easter in Italy in 2025?

Easter Sunday is 20 April 2025. Easter Monday (Pasquetta, 21 April) is a public holiday. Liberation Day (25 April, Friday) follows just four days later — creating a remarkable holiday cluster in late April.

Why is late April 2025 so special in Italy?

Easter Monday (21 April), Liberation Day (25 April, Friday), and Labour Day (1 May, Thursday) all fall within 11 days of each other in 2025.

Yes — Ferragosto (15 August) falls on a Friday in 2025, giving an automatic three-day summer long weekend. In practice most Italian businesses close for the full week around Ferragosto, making 2025 no different — but the Friday placement is the most convenient possible.

Does Republic Day create a long weekend in Italy in 2025?

Yes — Republic Day (2 June) falls on a Monday in 2025, automatically creating a three-day weekend. The military parade on Via dei Fori Imperiali in Rome takes place on the Monday.

Is Christmas favourable in Italy in 2025?
