| - The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies is a country in modern-day Italy. It is connected to the rest of Europe via a road from Aquila, Abruzzi to Montepulciano, Republic of Florence, Holy Roman Empire.
- The kingdom was heavily agricultural, like the other Italian states; the Catholic Church owned 50–65% of the land by 1750. The kingdom ended when it was annexed by the Kingdom of Sardinia to form the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. Following this, abject poverty caused thousands of its citizens to leave in search of a better future in the United States, Australia, Argentina, and other countries.
- It was a nice and sunny day in Sicily in the year 1816. Sicily was as usual moored next to Italy but was at this time politically part of the of Kingdom of Naples. It had been a long and typically hot night on the island and slowly some Sicilians who lived on the western coast were stumbled out of their beds to throw open the shutters. Feeling the warmth of the sun on their skin and rubbing their eyes, they looked on in amazement. A brand new island was lying next door and it looked strangely familiar. Who are you ?, asked Mario Sinatra. My name is Mario Sinatra, replied the stranger.

| - It was a nice and sunny day in Sicily in the year 1816. Sicily was as usual moored next to Italy but was at this time politically part of the of Kingdom of Naples. It had been a long and typically hot night on the island and slowly some Sicilians who lived on the western coast were stumbled out of their beds to throw open the shutters. Feeling the warmth of the sun on their skin and rubbing their eyes, they looked on in amazement. A brand new island was lying next door and it looked strangely familiar. The news of this discovery spread across Sicily with the speed of a horse stung by a wasp, being chased by the owner of a pet food factory. Soon the beaches and cliffs of Sicily's west coast were crowded by people trying to get a better look at their new neighbour. Others prayed in church thinking this must be the Devil's work but other, braver souls took to ships and sailed closer to investigate. They were in for a shock. As their boats came closer, they were greeted by a flotilla heading towards them. These strangers were wearing the same clothes as they were and even the people in the ships looked like them too. Then the penny - or lira in this case - dropped. They were not just alike, these people were identical. The Island of Sicily had acquired a twin - and it too was called Sicily. What just was going on? Those boats that were closest to each other at first stared for awhile not knowing what to do. Then one called Mario Sinatra decided to edge his own little sailing boat to a man who looked exactly like him. Who are you ?, asked Mario Sinatra. My name is Mario Sinatra, replied the stranger. The other Mario then replied... That cannot be. I am from Sicily too - and when I mean Sicily, the island I mean is that one... and he pointed to the island behind him. No... I am from Sicily, replied Mario. You were not here yesterday. Neither were you. The two Marios returned to their friends to relate the conversation they just had. Both flotillas then exchanged letters and returned back to their respective islands of Sicily to ponder on what to do next.
