Italy's 2027 public holiday calendar is challenging for ponte planning. Easter Sunday on 28 March is very early — Easter Monday (Pasquetta, 29 March) falls on the last day of March. Liberation Day (25 April) is a Sunday — no ponte. Labour Day (1 May) is a Saturday — also absorbed. Republic Day (2 June) is a Wednesday — workers can ponte on both sides (Tuesday 1 June and Thursday 3 June) but need two days of leave.
Ferragosto (15 August) falls on a Sunday in 2027 — the third consecutive year with an unfavourable summer holiday placement after Saturday in 2026. All Saints' Day (1 November) falls on a Monday — the year's strongest placement, giving an automatic three-day Ognissanti long weekend.
The Immaculate Conception (8 December) is a Wednesday — mid-week, needing leave on both sides. Christmas Day (25 December) falls on a Saturday and St Stephen's Day (26 December) on a Sunday — both absorbed into the weekend with no substitute days.
