The short-term temporal cycles in the frequency of suicide for the Province of Florence 1985-1987 has been analyzed. The authors initially present a comparison between the Date of Suicidal Act and the recorded Death Certificate Date. In their data the difference, still debated in the literature, appears of no practical importance. The results show that suicides peak on Spring and Fall, with a temporal variation with regard to the first decade of the month, high at the beginning and low at the end. No evident pattern has been explained by day of the week, unlikely any reports from the literature. On the contrary, the effect of the National Holidays are striking, showing a decrease on the holidays and a sharp rise on the subsequent day.
对佛罗伦萨省1985 - 1987年自杀频率的短期时间周期进行了分析。作者首先比较了自杀行为日期和记录的死亡证明日期。在他们的数据中，文献中仍有争议的差异似乎没有实际重要性。结果表明，自杀在春季和秋季达到高峰，在每月的第一个十年存在时间变化，月初高而月末低。与文献中的任何报道不同，一周中的哪一天没有明显模式。相反，国家法定假日的影响显著，假日当天自杀率下降，随后一天急剧上升。
