JSON · Add to calendar

1. Thu, 01 Jan 2026New Year's Day

   Italy’s calendar lists Capodanno as a nationwide public holiday on 1 January 2026. The date begins the Gregorian calendar year, a civil-calendar convention observed in many countries. The supplied context also notes its long-standing association with new beginnings, including the Roman god Janus, after whom January is named. This entry concerns the date and calendar observance; it does not imply that everyone marks the occasion in the same way.

2. Tue, 06 Jan 2026Epiphany

   Italy’s supplied calendar lists Epifania as a nationwide public holiday on 6 January 2026. The attached context excerpt is only a disambiguation note and supplies no reliable information about the feast’s meaning or customs. Accordingly, this entry is limited to the date, local name, and calendar classification. The listing supports its place in the supplied Italian holiday calendar, but no further historical or devotional detail is established by the provided context.

3. Mon, 06 Apr 2026Easter Monday

   Lunedì di Pasqua, or Easter Monday, is listed as a nationwide Italian public holiday on 6 April 2026. In the supplied context, Easter Monday is described as the second day of Eastertide; in Western Christianity, it is also the second day of the Octave of Easter. The date is connected to Easter and therefore moves from year to year. The calendar listing establishes the Italian entry for 2026, not a uniform pattern of personal observance.

4. Sat, 25 Apr 2026Feast of St Mark · VE-VE

   The supplied calendar lists Festa di San Marco for region code VE-VE on 25 April 2026. The accompanying context identifies Saint Mark’s Day as a commemoration of Mark the Evangelist and gives 25 April as its date. That supports the religious identification and date, but does not independently confirm the scope or legal status of the regional public-holiday listing. This entry therefore presents the calendar’s designation without assuming wider coverage across Italy.

5. Sat, 25 Apr 2026Liberation Day

   Italy’s calendar lists Anniversario della liberazione d’Italia as a nationwide public holiday on 25 April 2026. The supplied context describes liberation days as commemorating the end of an occupation, the fall of a regime, or both, and includes Italy among the countries whose observance relates to liberation from occupation and a collaborating regime. The calendar establishes this entry’s date and national classification. These sources do not detail the historical events or regional commemorations associated with the Italian anniversary.

6. Tue, 28 Apr 2026Sardinia's Day · SA

   The supplied calendar lists Sa Die de Sa Sardigna as a public holiday for region code SA on 28 April 2026. No contextual source was provided, so the entry’s historical background, official recognition, and precise geographic coverage cannot be confirmed from the supplied evidence. The date and regional designation here reflect the calendar record only; they should not be read as evidence that the observance applies throughout Italy or that all residents observe it.

7. Fri, 01 May 2026Labour Day

   Festa del lavoro is listed as a nationwide Italian public holiday on 1 May 2026. The supplied context relates Labour Day in many countries to International Workers’ Day and the labour movement, including campaigns for an eight-hour working day. The Italian calendar entry establishes the date and national classification, while the general context provides the holiday’s wider labour-related significance. It does not establish which events, if any, individuals or communities in Italy will hold in 2026.

8. Mon, 25 May 2026Whit Monday · TR-BZ

   The supplied calendar lists Lunedì di Pentecoste, or Whit Monday, for region code TR-BZ on 25 May 2026. The accompanying context describes it as the Monday after Pentecost, a movable feast in the Christian liturgical calendar whose date depends on Easter. This establishes the religious-calendar connection, but the supplied material does not independently confirm the public-holiday status or exact coverage of the regional entry. It should not be taken as a nationwide Italian holiday listing.

9. Tue, 02 Jun 2026Republic Day

   Italy’s calendar lists Festa della Repubblica as a nationwide public holiday on 2 June 2026. The supplied context explains the general purpose of a republic day: to commemorate the date on which a country became a republic. It does not give Italy-specific historical detail, so this entry does not add an account of the events behind the Italian date. The national classification and date are those stated in the supplied calendar record.

10. Wed, 24 Jun 2026St. John the Baptist · LI-GE

    The supplied calendar lists San Giovanni Battista for region code LI-GE on 24 June 2026 and classifies it as public. No contextual source accompanies the entry. Its date, local name, and regional code can therefore be reported, but the observance’s local history, official recognition, and precise coverage remain unverified here. The listing should not be interpreted as a nationwide Italian public holiday or as evidence that all people in the designated area observe it.

11. Wed, 24 Jun 2026St. John the Baptist · PI-TO

    The supplied calendar lists San Giovanni Battista for region code PI-TO on 24 June 2026 and marks the entry as public. No contextual evidence is supplied to explain the observance or confirm its local legal status. This entry therefore reports only what the calendar states: the date, name, and regional designation. It does not establish nationwide coverage, the precise boundaries of the listed area, or how residents may observe the date.

12. Wed, 24 Jun 2026St. John the Baptist · TO-FI

    The supplied calendar lists San Giovanni Battista for region code TO-FI on 24 June 2026, with a public-holiday classification. The record supplies no contextual explanation or independent confirmation of that status. The entry can be identified by its listed date, local name, and regional code, but its historical significance, geographic scope, and official recognition are not verified by the available material. It should not be treated as evidence of a nationwide observance.

13. Mon, 29 Jun 2026Saints Peter and Paul · LA-RM

    The supplied calendar lists Santi Pietro e Paolo for region code LA-RM on 29 June 2026. The attached context identifies the feast as honoring the martyrdom of the apostles Peter and Paul in Rome and confirms its liturgical date. This supports the name and date, but it does not independently establish the legal scope of the public-holiday listing. The calendar’s regional designation should not be generalized to the whole of Italy.

14. Wed, 15 Jul 2026Saint Rosalia · SI-PA

    The supplied calendar lists Santa Rosalia for region code SI-PA on 15 July 2026. The attached context describes Rosalia as a hermit venerated as the patron saint of Palermo, which supports the connection between the saint and that locality. It does not verify the legal or administrative status of the listed public holiday, or its precise coverage. The regional calendar designation is reported here without implying that the observance applies throughout Italy.

15. Sat, 15 Aug 2026Assumption Day

    Italy’s calendar lists Ferragosto as a nationwide public holiday on 15 August 2026. The supplied context identifies the Assumption of Mary as a Catholic dogma and gives 15 August as its feast date. The calendar name and date connect this entry with Italy’s August public holiday, while the religious context explains the Assumption aspect of the observance. The sources do not establish how individuals, communities, or workplaces will mark the date in 2026.

16. Sat, 19 Sep 2026St. Januarius · CM-NA

    The supplied calendar lists San Gennaro for region code CM-NA on 19 September 2026 and classifies it as public. No contextual source was provided to confirm the observance’s background or official local status. The available evidence supports reporting the listed date, name, and regional code, but not a broader claim about its legal recognition or geographic coverage. This entry should not be taken to mean that the date is a public holiday throughout Italy.

17. Sun, 04 Oct 2026St. Petronius · ER-BO

    The supplied calendar lists San Petronio for region code ER-BO on 4 October 2026, with a public-holiday classification. No accompanying context verifies the saint’s local significance or whether the date has official holiday status. The entry can be reported as a regional calendar listing, but its precise coverage and background remain unconfirmed. It should not be interpreted as a holiday for all of Italy or as independent proof of local legal recognition.

18. Fri, 30 Oct 2026St. Saturninus · SA-CA

    The supplied calendar lists San Saturnino for region code SA-CA on 30 October 2026 and labels it public. There is no accompanying contextual source to establish the feast’s background or confirm the local holiday status. This entry therefore reports the calendar’s date, name, and regional designation while leaving the legal scope and local significance open. The listing alone does not establish that the observance extends beyond the indicated area or is nationwide.

19. Sun, 01 Nov 2026All Saints' Day

    Italy’s calendar lists Ognissanti as a nationwide public holiday on 1 November 2026. The supplied context describes All Saints’ Day as a Christian holy day honoring all the saints of the Church and notes its observance on 1 November in Western Christian practice. That religious background explains the name and date without assuming that everyone observes the day in the same way. The Italian calendar record establishes the national holiday listing for this entry.

20. Tue, 03 Nov 2026St. Justus · FV-TS

    The supplied calendar lists San Giusto for region code FV-TS on 3 November 2026 and classifies it as public. No contextual source accompanies the entry, so its local background and official holiday status cannot be verified from the supplied material. The date, local name, and regional code are reported as listed, without extending the observance to the whole country. Further confirmation from the relevant municipal or regional authority would clarify its scope.

21. Sun, 06 Dec 2026St. Nicholas · PU-BA

    The supplied calendar lists San Nicola for region code PU-BA on 6 December 2026. The attached context identifies 6 December as Saint Nicholas’s feast day in Western Christian countries and describes it as a Christian observance within Advent. This supports the date and religious identification, but it does not independently confirm the regional public-holiday status or exact area covered by the listing. The calendar entry should not be generalized to the rest of Italy.

22. Mon, 07 Dec 2026St. Ambrose · LO-MI

    The supplied calendar lists Sant’Ambrogio for region code LO-MI on 7 December 2026 and marks it as public. No contextual source was supplied to explain the observance or independently confirm its local status. The name, date, and regional code are therefore reported as they appear in the calendar, while the event’s history, legal recognition, and geographic scope remain unverified. This entry does not imply that the date is a public holiday throughout Italy.

23. Tue, 08 Dec 2026Immaculate Conception

    Italy’s calendar lists Immacolata Concezione as a nationwide public holiday on 8 December 2026. The supplied context explains that the Catholic doctrine concerns Mary’s freedom from original sin from the moment of her conception and identifies 8 December as the feast day. This distinction matters because the doctrine concerns Mary’s conception, not the conception of Jesus. The calendar establishes the Italian holiday listing and date; the theological explanation reflects the attached context.

24. Fri, 25 Dec 2026Christmas Day

    Italy’s calendar lists Natale di Gesù as a nationwide public holiday on 25 December 2026. The supplied context describes Christmas as a Christian festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on 25 December in the Gregorian calendar. It also notes that Christmas has religious and cultural significance for many people. This entry reports the national calendar listing and the context’s general description; it does not assume that all residents mark the date in the same manner.

25. Sat, 26 Dec 2026St. Stephen's Day

    Italy’s calendar lists Santo Stefano as a nationwide public holiday on 26 December 2026. The supplied context identifies Saint Stephen’s Day as a Christian feast commemorating Stephen, regarded in the excerpt as the first Christian martyr. It gives 26 December as the date observed in Western Christianity and notes that the day falls within Christmastide. The calendar establishes the Italian public-holiday entry; the religious context explains its association without implying a uniform pattern of observance.
