Working Culture and Holidays in Italy
Italy observes 11 national public holidays (festività nazionali). Ferragosto on August 15 is more than a single day off in practice — it marks the peak of the Italian summer shutdown, with many businesses, factories, and shops closing for one to two weeks around it. Every Italian city and town also observes its own patron saint day as a local public holiday, which isn't included in this nationwide count since it varies by location.
