Text from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia,

unless stated otherwise.

The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (Italian: Regno delle Due Sicilie)[b] was a Kingdom in Southern Italy from 1816 to 1861 under the control of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, which was a Cadet Branch of the Bourbons.[3] 

The Kingdom was the largest Sovereign State by population and land area in Italy before Italian unification, comprising Sicily and most of the area of today’s Mezzogiorno (Southern Italy) and covering all of the Italian Peninsula South of the former Papal States.

The Kingdom was formed when the Kingdom of Sicily merged with the Kingdom of Naples, which was officially also known as the Kingdom of Sicily.

Since both Kingdoms were named after Sicily, they were collectively known as the “Two Sicilies” (Utraque Sicilia, meaning “both Sicilies”), and the unified Kingdom adopted this name. 

The King of the Two Sicilies was overthrown by Giuseppe Garibaldi in 1860, after which the people voted in a Plebiscite to join the Kingdom of Sardinia. 

The annexation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies completed the first phase of Italian unification, and the new Kingdom of Italy was proclaimed in 1861 after uniting with other Italian States.

The name “Two Sicilies” originated from the partition of the Mediæval Kingdom of Sicily. 

Until 1285, the island of Sicily and the Mezzogiorno were constituent parts of the Kingdom of Sicily. 

As a result of the War of the Sicilian Vespers (1282–1302),[4] the King of Sicily lost the Island of Sicily (also called Trinacria) to the Crown of Aragon, but remained Ruler over the Peninsular part of the Realm.

Although his territory became known unofficially as the Kingdom of Naples, he and his successors never renounced the title King of Sicily and still officially referred to their Realm as the Kingdom of Sicily. 

At the same time, the Aragonese rulers of the Island of Sicily also called their realm the Kingdom of Sicily. 

Hence, the Kingdom that resulted from their re-unification was named the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.[4]
