Not a public holiday in every province, but in Matera: Our Lady of the Bruna.

For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 14 (Biella and Prato) to 17 (Barletta-Andria-Trani). Matera lies in between with 15.

Days marked "observed" are substitute days off when a holiday falls on a weekend. Holidays based on a lunar calendar can shift by a day once the official announcement is made.

Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
