A Pilgrimage to the Tomb of King Francis II

The Fondazione Francesco II delle Due Sicilie invites those devoted to the memory of King Francis II to make a private pilgrimage—individually or in groups—to his tomb in the monumental Basilica of Santa Chiara. There, visitors may pay their respects to the last sovereign of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and also venerate the urn of his mother, Maria Cristina of Savoy, who has been beatified by the Church. 

Beyond an act of remembrance, such a pilgrimage offers an opportunity for prayer, reflection, and renewed appreciation for a king whose life was marked by faith, sacrifice, and fidelity in both sovereignty and exile.
