Yes. Santo Stefano (December 26) is a national festività in Italy alongside Natale (December 25). Both close banks, Borsa Italiana, and most private-sector employers. The Italian national set differs from many other countries by including December 26 universally as a public holiday, alongside Catholic-rooted dates such as Immacolata Concezione (December 8) and Ognissanti (November 1) that are also fully national.

Each Italian municipality observes its own Festa del Patrono (patron saint's day): San Giovanni Battista in Florence on June 24, San Petronio in Bologna on October 4, Sant'Ambrogio in Milan on December 7, and others. These are local holidays that close municipal offices, schools, and some businesses in their respective cities but are not in this national set. For Milan-, Rome-, or Florence-specific contracts, layer the municipal patron-saint date under the calculator's Advanced options.

Two things shift the monthly count for Italy. First, the day of the week the first of the month lands on changes the count of each weekday. Second, Italian national holidays anchored to a fixed date shift their weekday across years. Some years a fixed-date holiday lands on a weekend; some countries shift the observance to an adjacent weekday and some absorb it into the weekend. August 2025 had 20 giorni lavorativi, so August 2026 has 1 more working day year over year.
