NOTE AND OBSERVATION
It's important to note that travelers and visitors to Italy be aware of the Italian National Holiday Observances with some "Local Observances" because your travel plans may be affected. Some museums or places that you may want to go to may be closed or the public transportation system (trains, buses, trams, etc.) may be operating on a holiday or limited schedule. So you will need to rearrange your travel and plan accordingly.
