Italy recognises twelve festività nazionali by Law 260 of 1949 and subsequent amendments, including the patronal feast day of each comune, which means the actual count depends on where you work. Rome closes for Saints Peter and Paul on 29 June, Milan for Sant'Ambrogio on 7 December, Naples for San Gennaro on 19 September, none of which apply nationally. Republic Day on 2 June commemorates the 1946 referendum that abolished the monarchy. Liberation Day on 25 April marks the 1945 end of Nazi-Fascist occupation. The combination of dense religious calendar and patronal holidays gives Italy among the highest holiday counts in the European Union.
Italian civil law in article 2963 of the Codice Civile and procedural rules in article 155 of the Codice di Procedura Civile treat a giorno feriale as any day except Sunday and a recognised festività, with Saturday counted as feriale for substantive deadlines. Article 155 paragraph 5 specifically extends procedural deadlines falling on a Saturday to the next non-holiday day. The standard working week in private employment is Monday to Friday, while banks generally open Monday to Friday and close on Saturdays. Bank settlement uses TARGET2 for euro and the Banca d'Italia BI-COMP system for retail payments, which observes the national list of twelve.
