The school year begins in mid-late September, depending on the region (it starts earlier in the north and later in the south for weather reasons). In Tuscany it's usually between 15th and 23rd September. Then you get 1st November (All Saints) as a bank holiday and then 8th December (Mary's immaculate Conception or something like that). Christmas holidays usually start around 22nd December and finish after 6th January (Befana). Then you get 5 days around Easter, usually from the Thursday before Easter until the Tuesday after it. 25th April (Liberazione=end of WWII) and 1st May (Labour Day) are holidays too. I cannot remember if 2nd June (Republic's Day) is holiday for schools now, I think so, as they introduced it after I finished school. Summer holidays start in the second week of June and last for three long, hot and amazing months!!! You have to do some homework, usually kids (me included at the time) do everything in the last couple of weeks, but it's amazing anyway!
