About local holidays
Italy observes twelve public holidays. April 25 marks Liberation Day (1945), May 1 Labour Day, June 2 Republic Day (the 1946 referendum). Ferragosto (Aug 15, Assumption) empties the cities — almost everyone heads to the sea or mountains. All Saints', Immaculate Conception, Christmas, Santo Stefano (Dec 26) and Epiphany (Jan 6, the Befana brings sweets to good children) close the year. Each city celebrates its patron saint — St Mark in Venice, St Ambrose in Milan.
