In this paper we present PaCCSS-IT, a Parallel Corpus of Complex-Simple Sentences for ITalian.To build the resource we develop a new method for automatically acquiring a corpus of complex-simple paired sentences able to intercept structural transformations and particularly suitable for text simplification.The method requires a wide amount of texts that can be easily extracted from the web making it suitable also for less-resourced languages.We test it on the Italian language making available the biggest Italian corpus for automatic text simplification.
