Italy adds 4 October national holiday from 2026

Original: 4 ottobre festa nazionale 2026

Italy will make 4 October a national holiday from 2026, dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi. Reports note that for workers the new paid day off translates into an increase of roughly 40-50 euros on the payslip, either as extra pay or added leave, depending on arrangements. The measure adds a new date to Italy's calendar of public holidays, prompting discussion about its cost for employers and its practical effects on pay packets.

Why now: A new paid public holiday being added to the calendar directly affects workers' pay and employers' costs, making it widely discussed.
