# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Ferdinando Carlo Maria in January 1810, he inherited the throne of the Two Sicilies in 1830 while still in his twenties. For twenty-nine years he governed the southern Italian kingdom, navigating the pressures of a continent lurching toward nationalism and revolution. He died in May 1859, just as the forces that would dissolve his realm into a unified Italy gathered speed around him.
