EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the moment of respite and relaxation for Francesco II, the former King of the Two Sicilies, as he takes refuge in the holy city of Rome following the loss of his throne in 1866. After being exiled from his kingdom, the king found solace in the arms of the Catholic Church and the company of the Pope. The photograph, taken circa 1866, depicts a jovial Francesco II, dressed in the vibrant colors of the Carnival season, enjoying the festivities that Rome had to offer. With a smile on his face and a carefree attitude, the king seems to have left his royal responsibilities and the weight of his past behind. The historical context of this photograph is significant, as it marks the end of the Bourbon dynasty in the Two Sicilies and the beginning of Italian unification under the House of Savoy. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human side of history, showcasing a monarch who, despite the loss of his kingdom, was still able to find joy and happiness in the simple pleasures of life. The photograph was taken in Rome, Italy, during the Carnival season, a time of celebration and merriment that was cherished by the people of Italy and beyond. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of humanity, even in the face of adversity and loss. This photograph is an invaluable historical document, providing a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Italian history and the life of a former monarch. It is a reminder that even in the midst of turmoil and change, there is always room for fun and enjoyment.
