Sundays in Rome

My husband and I are staying an additional day in Rome; unfortunately, I have discovered that day is Italy Republic Day. Will anything be open since it is a Sunday and a holiday?

  • Republic Day is a nationwide public holiday in Italy. Organizations and businesses that are closed include:

    Government offices.
    Post offices.
    Banks.
    Schools and other educational institutions.
    Transport options, such as taxis, rail services between major cities and major long-route bus lines, are available but travelers are advised to check first with the local transport authorities.


    Republic Day is a day off work for many people in Italy. Events include:

    Official ceremonies.
    Military parades.
    Laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, inside the Altare della Patria in Rome.
    Outside Italy, many Italian diplomats in embassies celebrate this day worldwide.


    Found this by doing search for the holiday.

    Republic Day in Italy is June 2nd which does fall on a Sunday. I'd recommend watching the parade in the morning and then visiting the Borghese Gallery in the afternoon. It appears from the Rome Museum site, they are open but advanced pre-paid tickets are required and available online now.
