    The Order of Saint Januarius or San Gennaro is an order of the Royal House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies who ruled the former Kingdom of Naples and Sicily.

    Very interesting, an early representation of the Order of St Janarius which was founded by the Infante Carlo de Borbone who was Duke of Parma and king of the Two Sicilies before succeeding to the Spanish throne in 1759. It was founded in 1738 to commemorate his marriage to Princess Amalia Walburga of Saxony. It received Papal approval in 1741. It was intended to create an order with similar prestige to the Orders of the Golden Fleece, Holy Ghost and the Garter. As a dynastic order it is still awarded to this day by the Duke of Castro, head of the house of Bourbon
