You could get detailed data from the Sicilian Government Tourist web site, but to save you the trouble, top of the mind, Sicily is a real "melting pot" of ethnic combinations, quite the mini U.S. of S:
1. the ancient European people called "Siculi" gave the Island it's name, then came
2. the Greeks on the East coast;
3. the Carthiginians (Phoenician stock - Tyre & Sidon = today's Lebanon) on the West coast;
4. Romans (who were built out of nearly all the Italic, in addition to Gallic population and the other European members of the Empire);
5. Byzantines (Greek-Roman);
6. Arabs (all North Africans from Egyptian, Lybian to Maghreb stock, in addition to M. Eastern tribes);
7. Normans and a minority of Albanians fleeing the Turks;
8. Spaniards, with a smattering of Austrians ;
9. the odd North Italian, who came down after unity.
A truly wonderful cocktail of people - all Siculissimi.

In the beginning 3 tribes; Sicani, Elymians and Ligures lived on Sicily. Then the Greeks came to Sicily. After this period the Romans arrived. A Germanic tribe took Sicily in 440 AD. Then an Islamic army came from Africa. After a couple of centuries the Normans freed Sicily.Next the Hofenstaufen Dynasty who were Germanic people from Swabia ruled Sicily. Eventually the pope named a ruler and island became catholic etc. etc.
