Italian only so can't speak english properly

Trained over 247+h hours of "train" split of facebook/multilingual_librispeech dataset, 6717 steps for Epoch:
- catastrophic failure (the model forgot english)
- italian pronunciation not perfect (there are lot of checkpoints to let you play with and extend training, maybe with different datasets)

# Current most trained model
italian_59kh/model_464400.safetensors (~70 Epoch)

## folder structure:
```
| - italian_59kh
|   | - checkpoints
```

### italian_59kh
Contains the weight at specific steps, the higher the number, the further it went into training.
Weights in this folder can't be used to resume training, use checkpoints instead.

### italian_59kh/checkpoints
Contains the weight of the checkpoints at specific steps, the higher the number, the further it went into training.
Weights in this folder can be used as starting point to continue training.
