Prince Luigi, Count of Aquila (19 July 1824 – 5 March 1897) was a prince and military man, a member of the Italian branch of the House of Bourbon, and husband of Princess Januária of Brazil, daughter of Emperor Dom Pedro I. He was the thirteenth child of King Francis I of the Two Sicilies and Queen Consort Maria Isabella of Spain.
Born as Prince of the Two Sicilies, his siblings included the Queen of Spain, the Empress of Brazil, the Duchess of Berry, the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, and the King of the Two Sicilies.
He married Princess Januária of Brazil, daughter of Emperor Pedro I of Brazil, becoming an honorary admiral of the Brazilian Imperial Navy. The couple settled in Naples, where Louis served as vice-admiral of the royal navy, eventually being elected viceroy of Sicily in January 1848, and where their six children were born, residing in the kingdom until the invasion of Garibaldi's troops in 1861.
