Hi there. I didn't know there also was an *Other section here... and I guess you are know experimenting your question in place- don't you?
Your question anyway deserves a complex answer because Italy has a well developed dialect tradition as -- before being *Italy, macro regions had dialects as their own official language. So Wikipedia will give you technical knowledge about general phonetic issues (anyone knows dialects often have sub-dialects; Sicily is mainly : West and East areas) and Bing Video will overwhelm you with live documents.
However, would you need a practical source, I suggest you to look up using a keyword search as "Sicilian proverbs" (in english, yes), but if you want the hard stuff, you have to use "insulti siciliani" and enjoy. I also remember to have seen some Sicilian in the site lyricstranslate.
Generally said, by my point of view, Sicilian culture shows its best in tales and legends because of its highly complex history yet involving Levantine civilizations since the 3rd millennium BC, who had found in Sicily a base to explore the western Mediterranean and find for example, Volcanic glass or the Spanish Silver, so that Phoenicians will definitively settle in Mozia since 800 BC.
I think this is the best approach to what Sicily means in the mediterranean history. Do you know that someone said that Homer's O***y (censored word here; along than having been even set in the Baltic sea) might have been written by a sicilian woman poet? Enjoy; vi ses ; and -- bacio la mano!
