Italy Public Holidays 2029 — Full List with Dates

Italy's 2029 public holiday calendar opens with Easter on 1 April — a date that coincides with April Fools' Day but is fully observed. Easter Monday (Pasquetta, 2 April) is a public holiday. Liberation Day (25 April) falls on a Wednesday — workers can ponte on either side: Monday 23 April and Friday 25 April... wait — taking Monday 24 April creates a five-day break from Saturday 21 to Wednesday 25 April.

Labour Day (1 May) falls on a Tuesday — ponte on Monday 30 April for a four-day break. Ferragosto (15 August) falls on a Thursday — ponte on Friday 16 August for a four-day summer break — the country's most important shutdown given extra convenience.

All Saints' Day (1 November) falls on a Friday — automatic three-day Ognissanti weekend. The Immaculate Conception (8 December) is a Sunday — absorbed. Christmas Day (25 December) falls on a Wednesday and St Stephen's Day (26 December) on a Thursday — workers can bridge on Friday 27 December for a four-day festive stretch.
