1067 Tree preservation orders?

Does anyone know if trees have preservation orders or similar in Italy? If there is a tree on your property can you have it felled? Do you have to apply to the comune?

Not sure of the exact law but an italian freind of ours is "at war" with the head of the local corpo forestale because they will not let him fell some trees on his land,
I think alot depends on the type of tree-oaks must not be cut down in our village-or so we are told.

Thank you Apples for your reply. Maybe it varies according to location and who your neighbours are!
