I have two concerns about placing Gallo-Italic varieties in Sicily under Lombard. First, Gallo-Italic arrived in Sicily with populations from Liguria and Southern Piemonte, not from Lombardia. Next, they arrived here around 1000 years ago (1061), and then it is reasonable to expect that Gallo-Italic languages of Sicily substantially differs from the original language.

Currently I don't have this information. The only thing I can say is that "Gallo-Italic varieties of Sicily seem to be located at the highest levels of the borrowing hierarchy, showing a considerable amount of structural elements transferred by the donor languages." (here the chief donor language is Sicilian). I put the variety of Nicosia under GalloItalic since I believe that is, by now, the most conservative choice.
