Italy has quietly become a forest nation. Forests now cover more than one-third of the country, with wooded areas stretching across more than 100,000 square kilometers. Since 2020, Italy has had more forested land than used agricultural land — something not seen since the Middle Ages. But this was not only the result of mass tree planting. Much of the change came from abandoned farms, pastures, and mountain villages, where forests slowly returned on their own. A country long known for vineyards, olive groves, and farmland is now also one of Europe’s great forest landscapes.
