# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Francesco d'Assisi Maria Leopoldo on 16 January 1836, he inherited a realm that straddled the southern Italian peninsula and Sicily. The inheritance didn't hold. Giuseppe Garibaldi's expedition and Victor Emmanuel II's northern forces dismantled his kingdom, deposing him as the unification campaign erased the Two Sicilies from the map. What had been his crown became a footnote when the Kingdom of Sardinia absorbed the south and declared the Kingdom of Italy. He lived another three decades in exile, dying on 27 December 1894, the last man to wear a title the new country had no use for.
