Sicilianhas a long and important literary tradition that goes back to the Sicilian School founded in Palermo by Frederick II. The Holy Roman Emperorwho ruled until 1250 sought an alternative to the Church-dominated culture of the middle Ages and fostered the use of an illustrious Sicilian as the medium through which his new culture would be expressed. The poets ofthe Scuola Sidliana were not all Sicilians.Indeed, they came from allparts ofItaly and used the language spoken at court in their love poems. Thus, asDante said later, "Sicilianswere the first" in the art ofpoetry. They invented a new language and created a tradition that certainly did not fade. Through the centuries, Sicily has produced numerous important literary figures writing in Sicilian such as Antonio Veneziano, Giovanni Meli, Domenico Tempio, Nino Martoglio, and Luigi Pirandello, to name a few. While this is not the place to visit the vast literary tradition of Sicily, we will quote a famous Sicilianproverb that declares to the world: "Cu voli puisia vegna in Sicilia, ca teni la bannera da vittoria" (He who wants poetry let him come to Sicilywhich holds the banner of victory).
