I am trying to find out the dates for summer school holidays in Italy for this year. Looking at several websites, I'm seeing that the holidays end on 31 August, or 10 September or 16 September. From this, I'm wondering if the holidays are different for each region?
I'd like to know when the children are going to go back to school; we are planning a cruise from Venice and would prefer not to be on a ship with large numbers of children.
Can anyone enlighten me, please?

At the school I usually take as being typical here on Ischia, whilst they've said that the summer term will end on June 8th (unless, perhaps, they lose more time with another round of elections?), I couldn't promise that anyone will have thought about next year yet!
There's certainly a degree of regional, and also more local, flexibility - but at that one the recent September start dates have been:
2012 - 10th
2011 - 14th
2010 - 15th

Thanks, Peter
It looks as though if we book our cruise for some time after mid-September we should be OK.
