    The sonnet was created by Giacomo da Lentini, head of the Sicilian School under Emperor

    Frederick II.[1] Guittone d'Arezzo rediscovered it and brought it to Tuscany where he adapted it to his
    language when he founded the Neo-Sicilian School (12351294). He wrote almost 250 sonnets.

    Other Italian poets of the time, including Dante Alighieri (12651321) and Guido Cavalcanti (c.
    12501300), wrote sonnets, but the most famous early sonneteer was Petrarca (known in English as
    Petrarch). Other fine examples were written by Michelangelo.
