We present new constraints on the rest-frame sound speed, ceff2, and the viscosity parameter, cvis2, of the Cosmic Neutrino Background from the recent measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies provided by the Planck satellite. While broadly consistent with the expectations of ceff2=cvis2=1/3 in the standard scenario, the Planck dataset hints for a higher value of the viscosity parameter, with cvis2=0.60±0.18 at 68% c.l., and a lower value of the sound speed, with ceff2=0.304±0.013 at 68% c.l. We find a correlation between the neutrino parameters and the lensing amplitude of the temperature power spectrum AL. When the latter parameter is allowed to vary, we find a better consistency with the standard model with cvis2=0.51±0.22, ceff2=0.311±0.019 and AL=1.08±0.18 at 68% c.l. This result indicates that the anomalous large value of AL measured by Planck could be connected to non-standard neutrino properties.
