Hi all, we found these two holes in our umbrella pine (Pinus pinea) in Tuscany, Italy.
the holes are not clean as you see so we suspect a woodpecker.
Is it something to worry about? Any suggestion on what to do?
Thank you!

If the Woodpeckers are the culprit, it’s most likely there are insects present.
In my neck of the woods, deep inside the Appalachian Mountains, It would likely be Bark and Ambrosia Beetles.
Nothing too major, they’re usually a secondary sign of other things that may be wrong with the tree. And someone smarter than me will have to take it from here.
Those holes resemble carpenter bees. I think it will be okay, unless they get carried away.
