As if provisions like this of the "vincolo forestale" were ever carried out! Peasants naturally prefer to burn the wood in their own chimneys or to sell it; and if a landslide then crashes down, wrecking houses and vineyards let the government compensate the victims! An ounce of fact
With a single stroke of the pen the municipalities could put an end to the worst form of forest extirpation that on the hill-sides by forbidding access to such tracts and placing them under the "vincolo forestale." To denude slopes in the moist climate and deep soil of England entails no risk; in this country it is the beginning of the end.
