This paper presents the preliminary steps of ongoing research in the field of automatic text simplification. In line with current approaches, we propose here a new annotation scheme specifically conceived to identify the typologies of changes an original sentence undergoes when it is manually simplified. Such a scheme has been tested on a parallel corpus available for Italian, which we have first aligned at sentence level and then annotated with simplification rules.
