[[File:Piruç myò doç inculurit.jpg|thumb|The poem ''Piruç myò doç inculurit'', 14th-century paper manuscript by the notary ((ill|Antonio Porenzoni|it))]]

'''Friulian''' (or '''Friulan''') '''literature''' is the [[literature]] of the autonomous [[Italy|Italian]] region of [[Friuli]], written in the local [[Friulian language]].

==Early==
The oldest surviving poems in Friulian date from the 14th century. They are songs of [[ballad]]s: ''Piruç myò doç inculurit'' ("Sweet Blush Pear of Mine", before 1380), ''Biello dumnlo di valor'' ("Fair Lady of Worth") and the ''Soneto furlan'' ("Friulian Sonnet").<ref name=GF>Giovanni Frau, "Storia linguistica esterna", in Sabine Heinemann and Luca Melchior (eds.), ''Manuale di linguistica friulana'' (De Gruyter, 2015), p. 82.</ref><ref name=PB>Paola Benincà, "Friulian Linguistics", in Rose Mucignat (ed.), ''The Friulian Language: Identity, Migration, Culture'' (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2014), pp. 45–48.</ref> Vernacular Friulian phrases and spellings occasionally made their way into otherwise [[Latin]] documents. ((ill|Giovanni Frau (linguist)|lt=Giovanni Frau|it|Giovanni Frau)) cites an early example from 1284.<ref name=GF/> Paola Benincà quotes documents from 1355, 1360, 1380 and 1389.<ref name=PB/>

A fuller Friulian literature dates back only to the 19th century, when [[Friuli]], after the [[Congress of Vienna]], fell entirely under the control of the [[Austrian Empire|Austrian empire]]. This late flourishing had several causes: first, the language of the culture and administration had never been Friulian, but [[Latin language|Latin]] and partly [[German language|German]] under the [[Patriarchal State of Aquileia]] and [[Italian language|Italian]], mixed with [[Venetian language|Venetian]] under the [[Republic of Venice|Serenissima]] rule.  Moreover, Friuli never saw the formation of a literate [[bourgeoisie]] that could have fostered the language, in order to have a literary development similar to other European languages. During the 16th century for example, there were only limited poetic forms in Friulian inspired by the works of [[Francesco Petrarca]], including the poems of [[Nicolò Morlupino]] from [[Venzone]] (1528-1570) and  [[Girolamo Biancone]] from [[Tolmezzo]] (1515-1580). Also, until 1800 there were no printed works in [[Friulian language|Friulian]], so the diffusion of poetry and other works was restricted to a small number of persons.

== 17th century ==
During this period, the most important Friulian authors were [[Eusebi Stele]] (''Eusebio Stella'') of [[Spilimbergo]] (1602-1671), born to a noble family, who composed poems in a playful and ironic style about his life and love adventures; and the count [[Ermes di Colorêt]] (1622-1692), notable mainly for his use of the ''koinè'' from [[Udine]], that would become the most notable literary language and the basis of today's standard Friulian. Ermes was educated at [[Medici]]'s court in [[Florence]], then took part in the [[Thirty Years' War]], worked in the service of the [[Venice|Venetian]] Republic and [[Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor|Leopold I of Habsburg]]; in the last part of his life he returned to his homeland to focus on writing poetry, most of which centers on the theme of love.

== 18th century ==
This century was undoubtedly poor in the development of Friulian literature, probably due to the increasing influence of [[Venetian language]] in the city of [[Udine]]. Noteworthy, though, was the publication of the first Friulian [[almanac]] (''strolic'' or ''lunari'' in Friulian) in 1742.  The almanac contained short stories, poems and agricultural advice, with an item for each day of the year; these kinds of works would be very popular in the following centuries.

== 19th century ==
The first half of the century was similar to the previous one. The primary Friulian author of the 19th century, and today probably the best known in all of Friulian literature, was Pieri Çorut ([[Pietro Zorutti]], 1792–1867). Çorut's poetry was plain, far removed from the popular romanticism of the period; he devoted himself mainly to the almanacs, called ''Strolic furlans'', published yearly from 1821 until 1867. His most famous work is ''Plovisine'', composed in 1833. Çorut enjoyed great popularity in Friuli during his life and many tried to imitate his style. Today he is respected mainly for his usage of Central Friulian, which he sought to elevate to a literary language. Another author of almanacs was [[Antoni Broili]] (1796–1876), who achieved better results from the literary point of view.

In the second half of the century, the city of [[Gorizia]] was generally more vivacious than that of Udine; there was a different feeling of "Friulanity," and the environment was [[Mitteleuropa|mitteleuropean]], since the city (part of the county of [[Gorizia and Gradisca]]) was under the rule of Austro-Hungarian empire, while Udine was annexed to the [[Italy|Kingdom of Italy]] in 1866. In Gorizia, many tried to use the Friulian language in different fields, such as the applied sciences, with good results; one example from the period is the almanac ''Il me paîs. Strenna popolâr pal 1855'' by [[Federico de Comelli]] of [[Gradisca d'Isonzo|Gradisca]] (1826-1892). [[Carlo Favetti]] from Gorizia also published several books of poetry and plays in the local Friulian dialect.

An important literary event, although very late in comparison to other European languages, was the publication of the first Friulian vocabulary, composed by abbot [[Jacopo Pirona]] and his nephew Giulio Andrea (1871), which is still a valuable language resource today.  In 1873, [[Graziadio Isaia Ascoli]] published an analysis of Friulian.  Ascoli started the so-called ''[[Questione Ladina]]''.

Also deserving of mention is [[Caterina Percoto]], who has an important role in [[Italian literature]] of this century, but who left only a few works in Friulian, mainly regarding popular traditions.

== 20th century ==
At the beginning of 1900 Friuli seemed far from the numerous avant-gardes of the period, at least in part due to its difficult historical situation; the regional request for autonomy received no response from the Italian authorities, and in 1933 the [[Italian fascism|fascist regime]] prohibited any publications in Friulian. The most important authors of this time were [[Vittorio Cadel]] of [[Fanna]] (1884-1917), who composed poems with a sensual background, concealing a deep feeling of sadness and discouragement; [[Ercole Carletti]] (1877-1946) of [[Udine]], author of poems in a style close to Italian ''crepuscolarismo''; and [[Celso Cescutti]]. A rare example of political and civil themes can be found in [[Giovanni Minut]]'s ''Rimis furlanis'' (1921).  Minut, born in [[Visco, Italy|Visco]] in 1895, was forced to flee to [[Uruguay]] when the fascists came to power; he died there in 1967.

In the area of [[Gorizia]], [[Delfo Zorzut]] of [[Cormons]] composed various collections of short stories (''La furlane'', ''Sturiutis furlanis'') and gathered many popular legends and traditions, useful to keep alive an interest in the language.

But the most important Friulian work of the 20th century was the ''Academiuta di lenga furlana'', founded by [[Pier Paolo Pasolini]].  Pasolini collected a group of writers in order to go beyond the old poetry inspired by [[Pieri Çorut]]'s works, which was still imitated, to create a new and modern Friulian poetry. Other noteworthy figures in the movement include Domenico Naldini (Pasolini's cousin) and Riccardo Castellani.  Neither, however, reached the poetical heights of their leader.  Their works were in the ''Concordiese'' dialect of Friulian, in polemic with the use of Central Friulian as the only literary standard.

Other developments after [[World War II]] included the lyrical works of [[Franco de Gironcoli]], from [[Gorizia]].  Gironcoli studied and analysed poems from [[Ermes di Colorêt]] and the Pirona vocabulary, and from 1944 on he composed several short lyrics, dedicated mainly to the flowing of time.

[[Josef Marchet]], a priest, began the difficult work of promoting and standardizing the language; he tried to arrange a  Friulian grammatic in ''Lineamenti di grammatica friulana,'' with the purpose of developing a standard variant of the language.  In 1950 he also published the collection ''Risultive,'' wherein were gathered the works of several interesting Friulian poets of the time (including [[Novella Cantarutti]] from [[Spilimbergo]]; Dino Virgili, composer of the novel ''L'aghe dapit la cleve''; and Lelo Cjanton (''Aurelio Cantoni'')).

1971 saw the publication of a translation with the title ''Prime di sere'' of the novel ''Il vento nel vigneto'', written in Italian by the Friulian writer [[Carlo Sgorlon]], which enjoyed a good success.

== 21st century ==
While poets and song writers in Friuli continue to keep the language alive, Friulan has been used in Toronto, Canada, for many years by immigrants from Friuli. A notable example is the bilingual poem collection, ''From Friuli: Poems in Friulan, with English Translations,'' (2015) by Rina Del Nin Cralli and edited by Joseph Pivato. Rina is originally from Codroipo and said she was inspired to write poetry in Friulan by the books, ''Un Friul vivut in Canada'' (1977) by Ermanno Bulfon and ''A Furlan Harvest: An Anthology'' (1993) edited by Dore Michelut, an Italian-Canadian poet.
