+<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->
+
+This model is obtained by adapting bloom-1b7 to the Italian language. Among the languages supported by the BLOOM model, there is no Italian, making its use
+in that context challenging. We adapt the original BLOOM model using the MAD-X language adaptation strategy.
+Then, the model is fine-tuned over the Italian translation of the dolly dataset.

+## Model Details
+
+### Model Description
+
+We adapt the bloom-1b7 to the Italian language using the MAD-X language adaptation strategy.
+To produce a valuable model, we follow the same procedure proposed in: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.09535
+
+We use default script parameters and select a sample of 100,000 examples in the Italian language. We decided to sample data from the Filtered Oscar Dataset for
+the Italian Language released by Sarti.
+
+Then, the adopted model is fine-tuned over the Italian translation of the dolly dataset.
+The dolly dataset was automatically transtalted by an open-source machine translation tool: https://pypi.org/project/argostranslate/
+
+To fine-tune the adapted model, we use the script available here: https://github.com/hyintell/BLOOM-fine-tuning/tree/main
