+
+### 🇮🇹 Italy Updates
+
+Per [_LEGGE  8 ottobre  2025, n. 151_]( https://www.gazzettaufficiale.it/eli/id/2025/10/10/25G00153/sg), Italy established October 4th as the national holiday _Feast of St Francis of Assisi_ from 2026 on.
+Additionally, the holidays 'Santi Apostoli Pietro e Paolo' (for the municipality of Rome) and 'Unità nazionale' (celebrated on the first Sunday in November) were added.
+
+### 🇪🇸 Spain Updates
+
+The Spanish holidays of 2026 have been updated according to the official [_Resolución de 17 de octubre de 2025_](https://www.boe.es/eli/es/res/2025/10/17/(2)).
+
+### 🇭🇺 Hungary Updates
+
+The bridge days ("Munkaszüneti nap") for 2026 have been added according to _10/2025. (IV. 30.) NGM rendelet_.
+
+### 🇦🇺 Australia Fix
+
+The date for Labour Day in West Australia was erroneously set to the first Monday in May, not March as laid out in the law.
+This has been fixed for 2026 and all previous years.
