I'm in Italy and I left my orange tree out one night that was too cold ( I
think it went below 15c) and it dropped about a third of its leaves. It has
now recovered after two months of heat, sun and water.

Definitely not. Citrus are true evergreens, and their leaves last many
years unless dropped through stress.
