In principle no, at least under Italian law. In fact, unlike what happens with patents or trademarks, no type of filing would be necessary to obtain the right, as it is sufficient to prove that you are the author and have created the work before others.
However, just to facilitate the proof to be offered regarding the authorship of your work, it is advisable to deposit the work with an institution that certifies its date such as Slenos

You have committed yourself to producing your own work, you have worked hard and you have invested your time and, perhaps, your money. As an author, you therefore have the right to protect your work, that is, your intellectual activity both from a moral and patrimonial point of view.

Your work deposited on Slenos is first of all protected with a time stamp and with a "fingerprint". In addition, Slenos issues you the paternity certificate and, at your choice, deposits the cryptographic fingerprint in the blockchain.
The time stamp allows you to establish the existence of your work from the date of its filing on Slenos and guarantees the legal validity for 20 renewable years and the enforceability of the filing date against third parties. The time stamp of Slenos has full legal value in all states of the European Union pursuant to the eIDAS regulation and art. 20, paragraph 3 of the Digital Administration Code, Legislative Decree 82/2005.
Slenos also creates a cryptographic hash that acts as a "fingerprint" and is unique for each file in order to ensure its integrity and authenticity. In fact, any modification to the deposited file would produce a completely different imprint, revealing the attempted modification. As said, Slenos deposits your work in the blockchain. The inclusion in the blockchain guarantees the immutability of the data associated with your work for an unlimited duration over time.
