# Italian Dialect Models

LoRA adapters — Piemontese-Gioan and Napoletano-Ciro on Qwen2.5.

*15 Jan 2026 · Research*

## Abstract

We fine-tune LoRA adapters that bring Italian dialects to conversational life — preserving linguistic heritage, one conversation at a time.

## Models

- Piemontese-Gioan: conversational LoRA in authentic Piemontese tone and character
- Napoletano-Ciro: conversational LoRA in authentic Neapolitan tone and character

## Method

Adapters on Qwen2.5-1.5B — accessible fine-tunes, not billion-parameter rewrites. Published on Hugging Face for research and cultural preservation, with quick-start guides.
