Italy celebrates Festa della Repubblica, Italy’s Republic Day, with a national public holiday on Thursday 2 June 2022.
With Festa della Repubblica falling on a Thursday in 2022, many businesses and schools in Trieste are taking a so-called ponte, or ‘bridge’, by taking Friday off to create a four-day weekend.
The national holiday will see all of Trieste’s public offices and schools, and many shops, closed on 2 June.
This year marks the 76th edition of the annual event which commemorates the day in 1946 when Italians voted in favor of a republic and against the monarchy which had been discredited during world war two.
