Eastertime 2010 - hours of opening

We'll be in Rome over Easter 2010. Will any museums and/or restaurants be open Good Friday, Easter Saturday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday?

Nancy,
I am fortunate to have a brother that lives in Roma so I go to Italia every year and it often falls over Easter as I am a teacher and I go during Spring Break. Good Friday is not celebrated in Italia as it is here. You won't find anything closed then...same thing for Saturday. Easter Sunday and Monday are different. It would be hard to find a store open on either day but all the museums will be open on Easter Monday as it is a holiday and they want to encourage visitors. I don't believe that the museums are open on Easter Sunday. It is a great time to check out the churches as of course they are all open...If you happen to be in Roma on Easter Sunday, the Porta Portese flea market in Trastevere is open and going there is quite an experience!
