acl: clausal modifier of noun
acl is used for dependent finite and non-finite clauses that modify a nominal (either a noun or a pronoun). The head of the acl relation is the noun/pronoun that is modified, and the dependent is the head of the clause that modifies the noun/pronoun: it can be the verb itself or an adjective part of a verbal predicate.
acl is used in the following cases:
- participial modifiers of nouns

nsubj(parlato, Fiona)
