Italy's 2025 school holidays benefit from a late Easter (20 April) and the extraordinary AprilโMay holiday cluster. Easter school breaks fall in the week of 14โ21 April in most regions, followed almost immediately by Liberation Day (25 April, Friday) โ giving many schools a de facto extended break.
The AprilโMay 2025 holiday cluster: Liberation Day (25 April, Friday) and Labour Day (1 May, Thursday) fall within a single week of each other. Students in regions that observe ponte days on Friday 2 May effectively have almost two full weeks off from Easter to early May with minimal school days in between.
Summer holidays: Italy's ~13 week summer break runs from mid-June to mid-September. Ferragosto (15 August, Friday) falls mid-summer โ a long weekend within the break.
Christmas 2025: Christmas school holidays typically run from approximately 23 December 2025 to 7 January 2026. The Epiphany (6 January) is a public holiday โ La Befana brings gifts to children, marking the traditional end of Christmas.
