“Yet, it is a recorded fact that the first writings in the vernacular were in Sicilian, at the court of Federick II (1194-1250), where he formed what is known as the Sicilian School of Poetry. It is there that the sonnet was invented, the poetic form so widely used a century later by Dante, Petrarch and their contemporaries.”
