About Public Holidays in Italy

Public holidays in Italy, known as "festività," play a significant role in the cultural and social fabric of the country. There are several national holidays, such as New Year's Day (Capodanno), Easter (Pasqua), and the Republic Day (Festa della Repubblica), celebrated across the nation. Additionally, each region and many cities have their own local holidays, often commemorating patron saints or historical events. These public holidays not only provide Italians with time off work but also foster a sense of community and tradition through various festivities and events. Understanding the public holiday calendar is essential for effective absence management and staff leave planning in businesses operating in Italy.
