ZTL on public holidays: which stop, which stay on
A ZTL on public holidays follows no single rule. Pick the city and year: the tool lists the zones that are open and the national holidays.
Independent site, not a city service: the municipal order and the signs at the gate are what count.

The city’s patron saint day is not counted: the city states it in its order.
Hours from Roma Servizi per la Mobilità (Roma Capitale), page dated 28 July 2026: always check the sign at the gate; the order and the road signs are what count.
There is no national rule that switches ZTLs off on public holidays: each city decides, zone by zone. Of the zones on this site, 9 stop on holidays, 12 stay active and for 5 the source does not say. In Rome the daytime Historic Centre ZTL, the Tridente, daytime Trastevere and the Historic Centre and Testaccio night zones stop, while the Trastevere and San Lorenzo night zones stay on. In Milan, Area C and Area B apply Monday to Friday, holidays excluded: at Christmas and Ferragosto you enter without a ticket. In Bologna, however, the source says “every day from 7:00 to 20:00”, so the ZTL stays active even at Christmas. In Turin the ZTL Centrale stops, but Area Romana, the reserved lanes, the Pedestrian ZTL and Valentino do not; in Pavia the ZTL is always closed. For Florence and Palermo the sources say nothing about holidays: the calculation treats the zone as active and flags it. The holidays counted are the ten fixed national ones plus Easter Sunday and Easter Monday; each city’s patron saint day is not counted.

The holidays counted
New Year’s Day, Epiphany, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, Liberation Day, Labour Day, Republic Day, Ferragosto, All Saints’ Day, the Immaculate Conception, Christmas Day and St Stephen’s Day. Easter is computed for each year; Sunday is always a holiday in the calculation. One-off closures, such as major events or the eco Sundays in the Fascia Verde, are set by specific orders and are not in the calculation.
August is not a holiday
Some cities switch their ZTLs off in summer, but that is a suspension, not a holiday: Turin stops the ZTL Centrale from 10 to 23 August 2026, and Rome switches off the Historic Centre and San Lorenzo night zones in August. 15 August, on the other hand, is a holiday everywhere. To see the effect on a specific date use ZTLs active today.
