August 15 Holiday schedule for Rome

I will be in Rome on August 15th of 2019. I have been looking on the web to try a central location as to what tourist attractions, museums, churches, etc are closed and open. You would think this would be easy but I'm having a hard time finding a central place to get the information without having to go to all the specific sites. I have already been to a few different sites that give a 2 or 3 holidays that they are closed but not August 15th. Thank you one and all for your help.

I wish there was a central site to do that! I always look at each site’s website to be certain I have the official info. August 15 is a big deal but most tourist sites are open. Restaurants and stores in residential areas will close. Most tourist site closures are on Christmas, New Year’s, Easter, and May 1.

Laurel,
Thank you for your quick response! I know, August 15 is Maria Ascension Day. I will follow your advise and go to each site. I was planing on doing that but I thought i could better plan on what to visit if I knew what days were holidays. I have time before leaving.
Thank you again.
