Bridge day check
Falls midweek on a Wednesday. It splits the week rather than extending the weekend, so bridging costs two days of leave either side.
What the day is for
28 October remembers the one-word refusal of Mussolini's 1940 ultimatum, marked with student parades and balconies full of flags.
Do shops and banks close?
Banks and offices closed; retail varies outside the parade routes.
Getting around
Holiday timetables with morning parade closures.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
