Italy’s countryside is like a giant garden, one that’s been carefully cultivated for thousands of years. But now a third of Italy is covered by forests – the most since the Middle Ages.

Guest: Antonio Brunori, Secretary General of PEFC Italy (Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) and editor of “Ecodelleforeste.it” magazine.
