It seems as if Italy has closed up early for Christmas. Nobody’s working. The streets are quieter than usual.
That’s because the 24th of December is a ‘giorno semifestivo’ – a semi-holiday day.
You could find out more with this ‘boring but useful’ video + transcript from RAI but I’ll cut and paste the relevant part for you:
Un giorno può essere feriale, festivo o semifestivo. Nei giorni feriali si lavora; nei giorni festivi non si lavora; nei giorni semifestivi si lavora la metà del tempo normale.
So today’s ‘semifestivo’, tomorrow is ‘festivo’, and Monday 28th (sad face) will be ‘feriale’.
And the point is?
