<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

This model can be used for multi-label classification of Italian legislative acts, according to the subject index (taxonomy) currently adopted in the Gazzetta Uffciale. The model has been obtained by fine-tuning a [BERT-XXL Italian](https://huggingface.co/dbmdz/bert-base-italian-xxl-uncased) model on a large corpus of legislative acts published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale from 1988 until early 2022.
