Southern Italy autonomist movements

The last southern Italian state before the Italian unification, the Kingdom of the two Sicilies

In Italy, there are some active movements and parties calling for autonomy or even independence for the areas comprised within the historical Kingdom of the two Sicilies: that is, Southern Italy and/or the region of Sicily. No political movement promoting these ideas has ever been successful in gaining traction among the population. The movement remains on the fringes with no representation in the Italian parliament.

The main regional languages of Southern Italy are from the Italo-Dalmatian family, being Neapolitan (dark turquoise) and Sicilian (dark purple).
