Italian Dependencies

[desidoicheva]

Hi all ... it is me again :S

I have a question about the Italian dependency markings. Below I am pasting one of the sentences about which I have been wondering. Is word 13 marked correct in this case? Should it be marked at all?


1 Il _ il _ RS _ _ _ 2 _ DET (abstract _ _ _ (1

IMO, verbs can be markables in the Italian corpus if they have a zero pronoun.
In this case, it's something like
[1 il concilio 1] conta' ... e [1 *zero pronoun* 1] fu ...
It may be wrong in this particular instance because it's actually VP coordination and
the subject is shared, not zero.
