We have annotated this corpus as part of our participation to the NEEL-IT task at EVALITA 2016 (http://www.evalita.it/2016/tasks/neel-it) to use it as an additional training set. We therefore followed the guidelines of the NEEL-IT task (NEEL-it guidelines). The distributed corpus is composed of 1614 annotated tweets, for a total of 3127 annotated entities.
