Italy has 13 national holidays in 2027, counting Easter Sunday. Compared with the years before 2026 there is one more, 4 October, St Francis of Assisi, patron saint of Italy, introduced by Law 151 of 2025. The fixed dates are New Year's Day, Epiphany, 25 April, 1 May, 2 June, Ferragosto, 4 October, All Saints' Day, the Immaculate Conception, Christmas Day and St Stephen's Day; the movable ones are Easter Sunday, 28 March 2027, and Easter Monday the day after. Only 7 holidays fall between Monday and Friday: New Year's Day (1 January, Friday), Epiphany (6 January, Wednesday), Easter Monday (Pasquetta) (29 March, Monday), Republic Day (2 June, Wednesday), St Francis of Assisi, patron saint of Italy (4 October, Monday), All Saints' Day (1 November, Monday), Immaculate Conception (8 December, Wednesday). The other 5, namely 25 April, 1 May, Ferragosto, Christmas Day and St Stephen's Day, land on a Saturday or Sunday and are not moved. That leaves 254 working days from Monday to Friday. On top comes the patron saint's day, in your town only.

Where the list comes from
Italian holidays are set out in article 2 of Law 260 of 1949. That text still lists feasts no longer observed: Law 54 of 1977 removed the civil effect of Epiphany, St Joseph, Ascension, Corpus Christi, Saints Peter and Paul, 2 June and 4 November, to add working days. Some came back: Epiphany with Presidential Decree 792 of 1985, 2 June with Law 336 of 2000, and since 2026 4 October with Law 151 of 2025. 4 November remains a day of commemoration, not a holiday.
25 April, 1 May and 2 June are the civil holidays: the law treats them like the others for rest, but has its own pay rules for hourly-paid workers. The holidays on a Sunday page explains them.
The 2027 long weekends
With only 7 holidays on a weekday, 2027 has no bridges costing a single leave day. The best ones cost two:

| Thu 9 December – Fri 10 December | 2 | Wed 8 December – Sun 12 December | 5 | Immaculate Conception |

The patron saint changes the count in many towns. In Bologna, San Petronio falls on 4 October, the same day as St Francis, and since 2026 no longer adds a day off. In Pordenone, St Mark coincides with 25 April every year. Elsewhere the patron saint adds a holiday that can create a new bridge in 2027: search by town on the patron saint page.
