WI: Two Sicillies founded Italy?

Incidentally, I'd say that, with a xix century unification, Naples could well stay the capital for a long time (if there is a compromise with the papacy so that Rome is not touched). The relationship with Milan could be a bit like that between Berlin and Frankfurt in the German Empire.

I agree. Naples is central enough, and big enough, to be a capital. The other alternative is Florence for cultural reasons. Especially if they want to stamp their authority on the north.
