Italian local administrations are addressing the implications of new mountain area classifications. In Liguria, several municipalities have filed legal appeals with the TAR del Lazio against Council of Ministers decrees, arguing that the new classifications do not reflect historical, geographical, or economic realities. 

Public discussions in areas such as Quiliano and Tagliolo are focusing on the legal and political impacts of these reforms, specifically regarding the potential exclusion of certain territories and the impact on essential services like healthcare, digital connectivity, and public transport in small rural communities.
