Italy's 2028 school holidays benefit from a well-placed Easter (16 April) and Liberation Day on a Tuesday โ creating back-to-back ponte opportunities in late April. As a leap year, 2028 has an extra day in February during the school year.
The late April cluster 2028: Easter Monday (17 April) followed by Liberation Day ponte (Monday 24 April) means students in many regions get multiple long weekends in late April.
Summer holidays: Italy's ~13 week break runs from mid-June to mid-September. Ferragosto (15 August, Wednesday) falls mid-summer โ the cultural shutdown around this date remains regardless of the calendar placement.
Christmas 2028: Christmas school holidays typically run from approximately 22 December 2028 to 7 January 2029. Christmas Day on a Monday gives the break a clean structure. The Epiphany (6 January 2029) falls on a Sunday โ schools return Monday 7 January.
