Nicola Chetta, (Arbëresh Nikollë Keta), (1740?-1803), was an Italian writer and poet of Albanian origins. He was born in Contessa Entellina (Albanian: Kundisa), the oldest Albanian settlement in Sicily, founded between 1450 and 1467. He was educated at the Greek seminary in Palermo. In 1777, Keta himself became rector of the seminary himself. As a poet, he wrote both religious and secular verse in Albanian and Greek, and has the honour of having composed the first Albanian sonnet (1777).[1]
