Sicily was the insular part of the Kingdom od Two Sicilies.
1798-1799 and 1806-15 it was the only part that was preserved by
the Bourbon dinasty since the continental part was under french
influence. In 1848 the island revolted in the mark of the Italian
unitary revolution but the revolt was supressed April 1849.
During this time italian flag with "Trinqueta" was used

Scan of a flag of Sicily. It is from Wilson's 'Flags at sea',

missing yellow from the white at the bottom of the ensign.
