for sure there will be a lot of celebrations with flowers to Partisans'
monuments and so on.
shops will be closed for sure.
trains and punlic services will be running on a Sunday schedule
I do not think Museums will be closed though.
but that depends on the town
there are Museums that belong to the State.. to the regions.. to the
Porvicnes.. to the towns. to the Religiuos authrities-- and so on
