The paper describes our submission to the task 2 of SENTIment POLarity Classification in Italian Tweets at Evalita 2016. Our approach is based on a convolutional neural network that exploits both word embeddings and Sentiment Specific word embeddings. We also experimented a model trained with a distant supervised corpus. Our submission with Sentiment Specific word embeddings achieved the first official score.
