Scheduling impact for Italy
Italy observes 12 national public holidays. The April 25 (Liberation Day) and May 1 (Labour Day) combination often creates a multi-day break. August 15 (Ferragosto) traditionally marks the start of a multi-week slowdown, with many businesses running skeleton crews through late August. December is also dense with Immaculate Conception (8th), Christmas, and St Stephen's Day.
