Francis II of the Two Sicilies (1836–1894) was the final monarch of the Two Sicilies before the kingdom was absorbed into the newly unified Italy. Born in Naples, he ascended to the throne in 1859 following the death of his father, Ferdinand II. His reign was marked by significant political instability and the military campaigns of Giuseppe Garibaldi, which eventually led to his deposition. After losing his kingdom, he lived in exile across Europe before passing away in Arco. He is currently recognized as a servant of God within the Catholic Church.
