Since both kingdoms were named Sicily, they were collectively known as the "Two Sicilies" ( Utraque Sicilia, literally "both Sicilies"), and the unified kingdom adopted this name. The kingdom was formed when the Kingdom of Sicily merged with the Kingdom of Naples, which was officially also known as the Kingdom of Sicily. The kingdom was the largest sovereign state by population and size in Italy before Italian unification, comprising Sicily and all of the Italian Peninsula south of the Papal States, which covered most of the area of today's Mezzogiorno. The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies ( Neapolitan: Regno dê Doje Sicilie Sicilian: Regnu dî Dui Sicili Italian: Regno delle Due Sicilie Spanish: Reino de las Dos Sicilias) was a kingdom in Southern Italy from 1816 to 1860.
