>I work 220 days/year and I'm off 145 days, it's pretty standard here if you have a standard contract

Where is that, that you get 145 days of vacation?

I've said that I'm off 145 days, not that I have 145 days of paid vacation.

It includes weekends (52 of them), sick leave (paid), thermal treatments (paid), national holidays (paid, unless on a non-working day) and vacation (24 days, paid)

I also get 8 hours of paid permits per month, but I can take at max 4 consecutive hours per day. They are valid for a year, if I haven't used them after that, they get paid and the counter resets.

all of that in Italy.
