Bridge day check
Falls on the weekend, so it costs most people no leave — and in many countries no day is given back.
What the day is for
Festa della Liberazione marks the 1945 end of Nazi occupation and the fall of the Salò republic, with partisan commemorations and the singing of Bella Ciao. Civic and political in tone.
Do shops and banks close?
Banks, offices and most shops close; restaurants and tourist sites open.
Getting around
Sunday timetables and city-centre closures for marches. Combined with 1 May, it often anchors a bridged week.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
