Public Holidays

Public holidays in Italy

As a Catholic country, Italy also offers an almost complete list of all Christian holidays. Easter Sunday and Whitsun are not included here (as in Switzerland, for example), as these fall on a Sunday anyway.

Joseph's Day, Corpus Christi and Peter and Paul were abolished as public holidays in 1977. Good Friday is well known throughout the country, but it is only celebrated by very strict Catholics.

New Year's Eve is not actually a public holiday, but it is celebrated throughout Italy. On this day, most stores are closed by noon at the latest.
