The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies 1734-1861

This is the first history written in English, in the original, of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, a nation state ruled from Naples by the House of Bourbon until 1860 and subsequently integrated into the Kingdom of Italy. This well-referenced general history presents much little-known information about the wealthiest and most technologically-advanced of Italy's pre-unitary states. Included are numerous maps, genealogical charts, a timeline, and details about the institutions of the kingdom, along with a bibliography reflecting original sources and recent research by scholars. This book will be of interest to any reader curious about southern Italy during this period, including anglophone Italian descendants, such as Italian Americans, interested in their ancestral history.
