Antonio Veneziano explained why he wrote in Sicilian:Omeru nun scrissi pi grecu chi fu grecu, o Orazziu pi latinu chi fu latinu? E siddu Pitrarca chi fu tuscanu nun si piritau di scrìviri pi tuscanu, pirchì ju avissi a èssiri evitatu, chi sugnu sicilianu, di scrìviri pi sicilianu? Haiu a fàrimi pappagaddu di la lingua d’àutri?(Translation:) Did not Homer, who was Greek, write in Greek, or Horace, who was Roman, write in latin? And if Petrarch, who is Tuscan, does not resile from writing in Tuscan, why should I be restrained, being a Sicilian, from writing in Sicilian? Must I parrot the languages of others?
