Ciao Gabriele,
good idea to open the thread, we need to strengthen the nlp community in Italy 
I’m Enrico Bertino, mathematical engineer passionate about language (@EnricoBerto91 on twitter).
I co-founded Indigo.ai, a startup in Ai with a focus on R&D in the NLP field.
Speaking about HF, I use transformers in practically all the task I handle. In Indigo, we love “light” models and we pre-trained distilBERT in Italian 16 (it was the only chance in my life to call a model like me ) and this year we aim to train some even more compressed models in order to allow the use of transformers in Italian also with low computational demand.
In parallel with BERT, we are also exploring the world of “next word predictor” language models, currently training a GPT-2 and having fun with various experiments with GPT-3! With this in mind, it would be interesting to organize a discussion on GPT-3 and its use in Italian, I think there are ideas from both a technical and social point of view!
In ogni caso sono super carico per fare una comunità HF italiana!!
