The party was founded in 2007 by Cateno De Luca, at that time deputy of the Sicilian Regional Assembly.

[1][2] In the 2008 Sicilian regional election, De Luca found an agreement with the Movement for Autonomy (his former party) and was re-elected on its lists.

His seat was assigned on to Danilo Lo Giudice, mayor of Santa Teresa di Riva and also a member of Sicilia Vera, who joined the mixed group.

[10] In the 2022 Italian local elections, the mayoral candidate of Messina for the civic lists promoted by Sicilia Vera, Federico Basile, won with 45.6% of the vote,[11] while its coalition got 20 seats out of 36 in the municipal council.

The ex-journalist of Le Iene Ismaele La Vardera also joined the movement, assuming the role of federal president and spokesperson in the electoral campaign of De Luca for the regional election of September.
