<h1> ITALIAN-LEGAL-BERT:A pre-trained Transformer Language Model for Italian Law </h1>

ITALIAN-LEGAL-BERT is based on <a href="https://huggingface.co/dbmdz/bert-base-italian-xxl-cased">bert-base-italian-xxl-cased</a>,trained by the MDZ Digital Library team at the Bavarian State Library,
with additional pre-training of the Italian BERT model on Italian civil law corpora. 
It achieves better results than the ‘general-purpose’ Italian BERT in different domain-specific tasks.
