Municipalities in Italy have initiated the removal of hazardous or unstable trees in public spaces to ensure citizen safety.

In Mantova and Carpi, authorities began removing aging, dead, or diseased trees, including Celtis australis, poplars, and cypresses, following technical assessments. These actions are intended to protect residents while maintaining the ecological and aesthetic value of historic parks and streets. In Mantova, plans are in place to replace removed specimens in the autumn.

Similarly, the administration in Laveno Mombello announced the removal of twenty trees classified as dangerous by an agronomist. The decision was prompted by the need to prevent risks to people and property, citing recent incidents in neighboring areas where falling trees caused injuries and damage. Laveno Mombello has committed to replacing the trees once ground remediation is complete.
