Message-ID: <20010411112949.A2170@engelschall.com> Dear Italian Perl Mongers, I am currently working on the next release (version 5.0) of my module "Date::Calc", which will be able to perform date calculations which take holidays into consideration. Therefore, I would like to provide calendar profiles for as many countries as possible, including Italy. I'm not sure if I implemented the Italian holidays in the correct way, and in any case, I'll need translations into Italian. I'm not only interested in official holidays (work is suspended), but also in purely commemorative days (or days when schools close). Can you provide any insights, corrections or additions? Any help is most welcome! Most of all, I need formulas for the calculation of all moving holidays. Those which depend on the date of (western) Easter are no problem, as my program can already handle that (see below). Can you please also forward this message to your Perl Monger mailing lists, as well as any acquaintances or friends who might be able to help? Many thanks in advance! Here are the Italian holidays I have so far: #$Profiles->{'IT'} = # Italia #{ # "New Year" => "01.01.", # "Three Kings" => "06.01.", # "Joseph's Day" => "19.03.", # "Easter Sunday" => "+0", # "Easter Monday" => "+1", # "Day of Liberation" => "25.04.", # "Labour Day" => "01.05.", # "Whitsunday" => "+49", # "Peter and Paul" => "#29.06.", # only regional holiday # "Ascension of Maria" => "15.08.", # "All Saints" => "01.11.", # "Conception of Maria" => "08.12.", # "1. Christmas Day" => "25.12.", # "2. Christmas Day" => "26.12." #}; Please also check whether a day is an official holiday, or just a commemorative day (nobody gets a day off), or a school holiday (only schools close). Again, many thanks in advance for your precious help!

I don't know if anybody already replied, but here are the holidays I could get from the Barbanera 2001 calendar (which come with north-eastern newspaper "Il Gazzettino". All these holidays are full holidays: Jan 1: Capodanno Jan 6: Epifania Pasqua (=Easter) Lunedi' dell'Angelo (AKA Pasquetta, this is the day after Easter) Apr 25: Anniversario della Liberazione d'Italia (=Italy made free, in 1945) May 1: Festa del Lavoro (=Worker's holiday) Aug 15: Ferragosto Nov 1: Tutti i Santi (=All Saints) Dec 8: Immacolata Concezione Dec 25: Natale (=Christmas) Dec 26: S. Stefano (=St. Stephan) As far as I know there's only one "school holiday" (which by the way is not observed by all schools), and it's on the last day of Carnival, which is always a Tuesday and I think is 40 days before Easter. Hope this helps.

I didn't know it was a "school holiday" (when I was younger, I remember being at school in this day :-); but just in case, I want to add that the name for this day should be "Martedi' grasso" (=Mardi Gras in frech). cheers, Aldo __END__ $_=q,just perl,,s, , another ,,s,$, hacker,,print; >>>> FLORENCE.PM - florence-pm@pm.org http://florence.pm.org <<<< From mb at io.com Thu Apr 12 04:07:36 2001 From: mb at io.com (Michele Beltrame) Date: Wed Aug 4 00:00:03 2004 Subject: Can you help verify italian holidays for Date::Calc?

Actually I also remember being at school on that day, but it seems now (at least in my area) about half of the schools see it as an holiday.
