The 1 weekend-falling festività nazionali in 2025 are absorbed into the regular Saturday and Sunday count, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 10 weekday-falling entries. Italy observes 11 listed festività nazionali fixed by Italian law, including Santo Stefano on December 26. Easter Sunday is statutorily a festività but always falls on Sunday, so it is not listed separately. Italian law keeps each holiday on its gazetted date even when it lands on a weekend. The Festa del Patrono (patron saint's day) is municipal and varies by city (San Giovanni in Florence on June 24, San Petronio in Bologna on October 4, Sant'Ambrogio in Milan on December 7).

Holidays not included

Italian municipal Festa del Patrono dates are not in this national set. Adriatic coastal cities, Sicilian towns, and historical cities each observe their patron saint. For Florence (June 24), Bologna (October 4), Milan (December 7), or Rome (June 29), layer the patron-saint date under Advanced options. Italian regional holidays at the Comune level vary widely.
