Abstract
This article explains, in a clear and systematic way,the legal definition of forest in the Italian law system.

The concept of forest is discussed in relation to a brief review of the most recent laws and to a detailed analysis of the forest definition given by FAO (FRA 2000, FRA 2005 and FRA 2015), ISTAT, the Italian Academy of Forest Sciences and the Italian National Forest Inventory.
