The Derby delle Due Sicilie ("Derby of the Two Sicilies") is an Italian Serie A derby between the Napoli and Palermo football clubs.[1]
It represents the football challenge between the two historical capitals of the Two Sicilies.
The first match was played in 1928. In that year, Giuseppe Pirandello, defender and ex-skipper of Palermo, died while he was under contract with Napoli. The Palermitan newspaper L’Ora organized a friendly competition, the Coppa Pirandello, in memory of the player. Napoli won the match, although the score is unknown.[2]
