If you can read Italian, there is a web page listing who is striking, and where.

Hi NanC,
I find Google Translate to be helpful sometimes when trying to discern the message of a website in a language I can't read fluently (ok, that would be all languages except English).
1) Go to Google Translate
2) Copy the entire URL of the website you wish to translate and paste it into the box (in this case you would copy the entire link that you provided in your original post)
3) Select 'Italian' to 'English' and press "Translate"
While it isn't perfect, it should give you the gist of the website (although I've seen some awfully funny translations in the past!).

Fortunately, there are no strikes during my visit. A strike calendar confuses me. Strikes are scheduled?? I thought they were sort of spur of the moment things that happen when people are unhappy with a work situation. But, I guess it's nice for us travelers that they plan their strikes.

Melissa, not in Italy! (generally)
The Italians love their scopiero -- hope I spelled that right. Our RS Florence tour got all re-arranged due to a strike at the Bargello Museum on the Friday we were supposed to go. The tour guide knew about it a week or so in advance and did a great job shuffling the pieces around to get us in on Wednesday instead.
