Public holidays in Italy
Plan around national holidays — many businesses close, transport gets busier, and prices for flights/hotels can spike.

What to pack
Each city has month-by-month packing lists computed from local climate data — temperatures, rainfall, peak hazard seasons, and Italy's dress code.
