Covers Italy's 11 nationwide public holidays. Easter Monday is computed algorithmically for any year. Each city also observes its patron saint day (e.g. 24 June for Turin, 7 December for Milan) which is not included here.
Formula
Working Days = Weekdays − National public holidays falling on weekdays
Count all Monday–Friday days in the range, then subtract any of Italy's 11 national public holidays that fall on those weekdays. Municipal patron saint holidays and the informal Ferragosto shutdown (typically 1–15 August in practice) are not captured here.
Worked Example
Scenario: A Milan supplier quotes 10 giorni lavorativi (working days) delivery from Monday 21 April 2025.
Easter Monday (21 April) and Liberation Day (25 April) both fall as weekday holidays in this range.
10 working days + 2 national holidays = 12 weekdays forward
Result: deadline falls on ~7 May 2025
Liberation Day (25 April) and Republic Day (2 June) are uniquely Italian national holidays with no equivalent in Germany, France, or Spain. Always account for them in April–June timelines.
Common Mistakes
- Underestimating the August shutdown. While Ferragosto (15 August) is the official holiday, many Italian businesses — especially in manufacturing, construction, and professional services — close for 1–3 weeks in August around this date. This informal shutdown is not captured by public holiday calendars but is effectively non-working time.
- Missing municipal patron saint holidays. Each Italian municipality observes the feast day of its patron saint as a local public holiday: 29 June (Saints Peter and Paul) in Rome, 24 June (St. John the Baptist) in Turin and Florence, 7 December (St. Ambrose) in Milan. These are fully non-working days locally but are not listed in national holiday tables.
- Italy's standard rate is 22%, not 20%. This is relevant when cross-referencing Italian invoices against working day counts. A supplier closed for holidays cannot process invoices, meaning invoice dates may shift. The combination of holiday gaps and Italy's unique e-invoicing (SDI) processing times means Italian invoice-to-payment cycles are often longer than in Northern Europe.
