This paper reports on EVALITA 2007 PoS-tagging task, an initiative for the evaluation of automatic PoS-taggers for Italian. A noticeable number of scholars and teams across Europe participated experimenting their systems on the data provided by the task organisers. The results are very interesting and overall performances are very high, when compared with tagging accuracy for other more studied languages. In particular, the best scores are very close to the state-of-the-art performances obtained for English.
