Italy has several public holidays during the course of the year when most activities are closed, except restaurants, coffee bars, some stores, fuel stations on the highways and 24 – hour cash dispensers (for fuel or for bank notes).
Plan your day trips and shopping expeditions with these dates in mind. January 1 – – New Year’s Day January 6 – – Epiphany Easter: variable day (in the 2020 will be April 12) Easter Monday: variable day (it is always the day after Easter) April 25 – – Liberation Day May 1 – – May/Labor Day June 2 – – Anniversary of the Republic August 15 – – Assumption Day November 1 – – All Saints’ Day December 8 – – Feast of the Immaculate Conception December 25 – – Christmas December 26 – – St. Stephen’s Day (Boxing Day) All Sundays: in Italy Sunday is always a festivity day Fest of the Patron: a public holiday established by each municipality for its own territory to celebrate the saint who was the patron saint of the city. We suggest you to check the opening time of supermarkets: in Cortona town center usually they are open during the morning of public holiday but not in the afternoon (also the same in the Sunday). During all the year and public holiday check the opening/closing time in Sunday for the big supermarkets around Cortona, most of these are closed for lunch time or afternoon and all the day during public holiday.
