Hi AllWe have had a property in a small village in the Bagni di Lucca area.The Local Log supplier would like to dig a small trench across our Garden to run a water pipe to his animals (goats & sheep) the other side of our property.If we said yes, does anyone know if there is any obscure Italian Law that says they then have a right of access to our garden?Cheers

yes, it will technically impose a servitu on y our property, and he will have right of access to service his pipeline. It is best in all such cases to do this at a notary at his expense to transcribe the right of servitu. If you just give him a verbal ok, and then things sour between you, it becomes a murky legal mess.
