Ciao e benvenuto!

Try adjusting the truss rod ever so slightly but not enough to move the neck, this usually works.

As said a loose truss rod can cause that. Your guitar can be setup dead on where you want it to be an climate could change the neck slightly and cause it to become loose. You may even get dead sounding notes because of this and loosing sustain because of the stiffness reduction caused by the truss not being taught. Just tighten slightly or if a bi flex you my even loosen and add the tension the other way not so much that you change the neck but to just add tension.

Buona fortuna
