Italy School Holidays 2026

Italy's 2026 school holidays are shaped by an early Easter (5 April) and Liberation Day falling on a Saturday — no extended spring break from Liberation Day in 2026. Most regions schedule Easter breaks around the week of 30 March – 6 April.

Summer holidays: Italy's ~13 week break runs from mid-June to mid-September. Ferragosto (15 August, Saturday) provides no mid-summer long weekend boost — the shutdown is cultural rather than calendar-driven.

December 2026: The Immaculate Conception (8 December, Tuesday) ponte on Monday 7 December gives students a four-day break — a welcome pause before the Christmas exam period.

Christmas 2026: Christmas school holidays typically run from approximately 23 December 2026 to 7 January 2027. The Epiphany (6 January 2027) falls on a Wednesday — schools return Thursday 7 January.
