1. Sicily
During the Napoleonic period, French-dominated governments ruled Naples as a separate kingdom (eg Joseph Bonaparte as king, then Murat as king), whilst Sicily remained free of it, under the protection of the British navy.

Did the rulers of Sicily simply continue to use the Two Sicilies flag, since they maintained their right to rule Naples as well? Or, because they were essentially in exile in Sicily, did they use a Sicilian flag?

2. Sardinia
Similar question, since the Savoyard dynasty was also kept independent in Sardinia by the British fleet, whilst their mainland possessions fell under French rule. What flag was flown by the king effectively in exile ?

doesn't help since the period 1802-1816 is blank! Would you assume the pre-1802 flag was still the one used by the king when he was ruler of the island only?

3. Italy
I seem to have an answer for this one!
