Constantinian Chronicles.pdf

The publication of the new issue of the Constantinian Chronicles coincides with the celebrations for the sesquicentennial anniversary of the unification of Italy, recalling the end of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the departure of the last Sovereign Francis II from Gaeta. The memory of the modalities that realized this event still causes great confusion among southerners, combining with requests for explanation of the current difficulties of economic and social development in these Italian regions. The Constantinian Order's activities are highlighted, including the appointment of Cardinal Renato Raffaele Martino as Grand Prior and Cardinal Albert Vanhoye SJ as Ecclesiastical Chancellor. The House of Bourbon Two Sicilies, led by Charles of Bourbon, promotes initiatives to enhance the South and establish historical accuracy, often ignored. Despite 150 years since the conquest of the South, the truth about Italy's unification is still hidden, as evidenced by the removal from distribution of a 1999 film, "They were called bandits," which truthfully depicted post-unity banditry and its repression by the newborn Kingdom of Italy.
