nmod: nominal modifier

The nmod relation is used for nominal modifiers. They depend either on another noun (group “noun dependents”) or on a predicate (group “non-core dependents of clausal predicates”).
In Italian, nmod is used for non-prepositional and prepositional complements; the most common complements are temporal, place and specification.
