1806, when the Kingdon of Naples was created,attribued to Murat.

In 1806 Naples was under french ocupation, and the crown was
asigned to Giusepe Bonaparte. A white, red and black horizontal
flag is reported (also quoted as vertical) but Zigiotto suggests
that from the documentation only the use of french flag can be
assured.

225 Sicily & Naples Signal for a Pilot - as above and Kingdom of the Two Sicilies - Pilot
Signal, The former is displayed a bit too dark, here, whereas
the latter has the better location, I guess, but like the other
flags on that page has a border on its white edges, though not as
pronounced as some of the others.
