Is the patron saint's day a public holiday in Modena?

Yes, but only in Modena. The patron saint's day is a holiday in the municipality that celebrates it: local schools and public offices are normally closed, and it counts as a holiday for people who work there. In nearby towns it is an ordinary working day, unless they share the same patron.
