The chronicler Salimbene de Adam recorded that ""Vidi ista oculis meis"" ("I saw this with my own eyes"). Alberico was a friend and patron of troubadours and an Occitan poet himself. He is known to have had contact with Sordello and Uc de Saint Circ. Folios 153r to 211r of the chansonnier known as MS "D", now α, R.4.4 in the Biblioteca Estense, Modena, form the "Liber Alberici" ("Book of Alberic"). The "Liber"'s rubric reads: "Hec sunt inceptiones cantionum de libro qui fuit domini Alberici et nomini repertorum earundem cantionem". The chansonnier was produced in 1254 in Lombardy under Alberico's patronage. Alberico has been identified as the author of the poem "Na Maria, pretç e fina valors". The rubric identifies the composer as one "nabieiris de roman" (or "nabietris..."), which could be a corruption of "N'Albric de Roman"; however, the name is usually considered a corruption of "Beatriz" and the poem is assigned to Bieiris de Romans by most scholars today. Alberico does have one other work extant, a "tenso" he composed with Uc: "Mesier Albric, so.m prega Ardisons". Alberico also has a connexion to the Sicilian School of poetry. The man he replaced at Treviso was the Sicilian poet Jacopo de Morra di Puglia.
