Delegation of Campania

The “Constantinian Clinic” was born on October 28, 2013 under the auspices of the Delegation of Naples and Campania and with the approval and in the presence of His Royal Highness Prince Charles of Bourbon Two Sicilies.
In 2019, the Archbishop of Naples at that time, H.E. Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, blessed the facilities of the clinic in the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice of Bourbon Two Sicilies and Marquise Federica de Gregorio Cattaneo, Delegate for Naples and Campania, who expressed their satisfaction for the noble initiative, reconfirming it today as well.

On March 17th, some Knights, Dames and volunteers of the Delegation of Naples and Campania commemorated the figure of the Neapolitan soldier with a Mass. For too many years our young people who heroically and loyally defended the Neapolitan homeland have been forgotten, despite their sacrifices and acts of heroism inspired by the admirable example of our King Francis II Servant of God, for whom the cause of beatification had already been launched.

Following the example of tge Servant of God His Majesty King Francis II of Bourbon, on Friday, March 18, a new food donation was carried out in favour of the canteen located in Via Marina in Naples.

A gift as a gesture of love to alleviate the saddest moments, especially for children. This is the meaning of the initiative promoted by the delegation of Campania that, on February 16th, delivered sweets to children. “It is a bit delayed, due to the pandemic that prevented us from making the delivery on time”, declares Knight Giancarlo Rinaldi, representing Marquise Federica de Gregorio Cattaneo dei Principi di Sant’Elia, Delegate of Campania – but we were happy to be able to fulfill the commitment we had made towards the little guests of the Giuseppe Ferraro Onlus Foundation. In this sense, I must thank both the Knights of the Order and the other people who participated in our fundraising. The smile of these children continues to be the best prize for us”.
Special thanks to Emiddio de Franciscis de Casanova, Roberto Della Rocca, Enzo de Maio, Pio Forlani, Antonio Ianniello, Mario Marino, Rosa Montella, Alessandro Pasca di Magliano, Vincenzo Triente Castaldo.

The Delegation of Naples and Campania contributed this year as well to help the traditional charity sale of products, promoted by “Avventure di latta” association. Thanks to the sale of many products, that are handmade by non-EU citizens eager to learn to work, a period of work has been guaranteed for two of them; this will help to stimulate their inclusion in society.

Mr. Angelo Fasulo was given the medal of merit of the Constantinian Order at the main Cathedral in Salerno. After reading the Knight’s prayer, Mr. Fasulo donated several bags of dog food, which were sent to the Salerno kennel. Msgr. Michele Pecoraro, Canon of the Cathedral, also attended, who then blessed the medals that Knight Alfonso Grieco gave to the new Knights D’Aiuto, Sessa, Pastore, Pepe and Rocco, according to the Delegate of Naples and Campania, Marquise Federica de Gregorio Cattaneo’s indications.

On December 27th, the last King of the Two Sicilies, the Servant of God Francis II, was celebrated at the Basilica Santa Chiara. The Mass, organized by the Guard of Honor of the Delegation of Naples and Campania, began with the reading of the message that His Royal Highness the Grand Master wanted to send. At the end of the religious function attended by the group of the 1st “Rey” Regiment, the Delegate Federica de Gregorio Cattaneo delivered the diplomas of appointment to all the members of the Francis II Foundation, which actively promoted the cause of beatification of our beloved King. The Foundation also received the gold medal for merit in memory of Don Massimo Cuofano. A television crew was also present and filmed the event.

In the presence of Raffaele Piemonte, coordinator of Caritas in Nola, and Knight Commander Giannangelo Marciano, the Delegation of Naples and Campania donated 1000 kilograms of pasta, 500 kilograms of tomatoes, 5500 kilograms of rice, 1000 kilograms of flour and 1000 kilograms of various canned goods, including beans, chickpeas and peas, to be distributed to the needy in the parishes Sant’Anastasia.
