"Inno al Re" (English: "Hymn to the King"), disputed between Giovanni Paisiello and Pietro Pisani,[1] was a hymn praising King Ferdinand IV of Naples, then Ferdinand I of Two Sicilies, which functioned as the national anthem of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
[2][3][4][5][6] The text usually associated with the Inno al Re is from a score written between 1835 and 1840 for Princess Eleonora Galletti di Palazzolo.
[8] The "double throne of his fathers" suggest the text was written while Naples and the Sicily were still two separated kingdoms, before 1816.
A new set of lyrics has been written by Neapolitan songwriter Riccardo Pazzaglia to go along with the original composition.
On September 7th 1993, it has been officially adopted as the anthem of the "Movimento Neoborbonico", a Two Sicilies independence movement.
