Under Italian law there are 12 midweek holidays:
- New Year's Day;
- 6 January (Epiphany);
- 25 April (anniversary of the Liberation);
- Easter Monday, 1 May (Labour Day);
- 2 June (Republic Day);
- 15 August (Assumption);
- 1 November (All Saints' Day);
- 8 December (Immaculate Conception);
- 25 December (Christmas Day);
- 26 December (Saint Stephen's Day) and the festival of the local patron
saint.
If they do not work on these days, workers receive their normal daily pay. If
a public holiday falls on a Sunday (and for some employment contracts also on a
Saturday), the day is paid in addition to normal pay. If a worker works on a
public holiday, he receives extra remuneration in line with the rules on work on
public holidays.
