Italy has no statutory substitute days: a public holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday is not moved to a weekday, so the following Monday stays a working day in these counts. Each town also keeps its patron saint's day as a local holiday (for example 24 June in Florence, Genoa and Turin, 29 June in Rome, 7 December in Milan), which these counts do not include.
Week by week
May 2026 has 31 days: 10 Saturdays and Sundays, 1 holiday on a weekday and 20 working days. The table splits them by calendar week, Monday to Sunday, cut at the start and end of the month.
