Inno al Re
Inno al Re (), composed by Giovanni Paisiello in 1787, was the national anthem of the southern European kingdom of the Two Sicilies from 1816 until the Italian unification in 1860.

Lyrics
These are the lyrics which were used during the time of the kingdom. In the example, below the name of Ferdinand could be replaced by whichever Bourbon king was ruling the Two Sicilies at the time. The "double throne of his fathers" is a reference to the fact that Naples and the Sicily were two kingdoms, hence the name of the country "Two" Sicilies.

"Back from the Past"
