Inno al Re | |
"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.[7]
The name of Ferdinand could be replaced by whichever Bourbon king was ruling the Two Sicilies at the time.[8] The "double throne of his fathers" suggest the text was written while Naples and the Sicily were still two separated kingdoms, before 1816.
