The Opera del Vocabolario Italiano (OVI) is the institute of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) responsible for the development of the Historical Dictionary of the Italian language.
The project was launched In 1965 by the Accademia della Crusca – where the Institute is located - and funded by the Italian National Research Council (CNR).
At present, OVI’s activities are focused on the implementation and online publication of the Tesoro della Lingua Italiana delle Origini (TLIO) and of the textual corpus of early Italian.
OVI also develops and provides advanced lexicographic software.
It is a landmark, in Italy and worldwide, in the study of early Italian.
From March 2020, OVI has activated a Third Parties Research Unit (URT) at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa.
Either
as coordinator, head of research unit, or host organization, OVI is involved in national and international projects that are related to the Institute’s
mission, that is, linguistic or philological research on early Italian, or
research on information technology applied to the textual tradition.
It has collaborative relationships with Italian and foreign universities and
colleges, research centers, public and private bodies, and publishing houses
for research and training activities on Italian language and texts.
The OVI is engaged in higher education in the fields of lexicography and digital humanities, with particular focus on the acquisition and refinement of skills needed for the development of the TLIO and for the management of the textual databases implemented in GATTO software.
The OVI Bulletin (BOVI) is an annual journal of the National Research Council (CNR) founded by Pietro G. Beltrami in 1994.
The bulletin publishes the indexes and a selection of TLIO entries, editions of early Italian texts, articles on lexicography and computer science applied to lexicography.
