"Equi" verbs inherit (see categories.tdl) from the correspondant "binding" rule
 
(see italian-
grammar.tdl) operating the coindexation between the semantic role in KEYS.KEY and the 
XARG of the controlled argument.

7. CLAUSAL COMPLEMENTS 
Up to now the grammar deals with three kinds of clausal complement: 
i) subordinate finite clauses, introduced by the "che" complementizer; 
ii) subordinate infinitive clauses, introduced by the "di" complementizer; 
iii) subordinate infinitive clauses, introduced by the "a" complementizer 
No control on tense or mood is managed yet. No clauses are admitted by now in the subject 
role. As it regards raising and control, see upwards.
