He was married on August 15, 1790, at Naples, Italy, to Luisa Maria Amelia Teresa of the Two Sicilies (July 27, 1773 - September 19, 1802), daughter of Fernando I of the Two Sicilies (1751 - 1825) and his wife Marie Caroline of Austria (1752 - 1814).

There were no children born of this second marriage. Ferdinand succeeded his father as Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1790, and ruled in Tuscany until 1801, when he was forced by Bonaparte to give up Tuscany to the Bourbons of Parma, who turned it into the Kingdom of Etruria. Ferdinand was compensated by being given the secularized lands of the Archbishop of Salzburg and several other ecclesiastical princes in Germany, and was made a Prince-elector of the Holy Roman Emperor. By the Treaty of Pressburg of 1805, Ferdinand was made to give up Salzburg, which was annexed by his brother, the Emperor of Austria, and instead became Duke of Wrzburg, a new state created for him from the old Bishopric of Wrzburg. He remained in this role until Napoleon's fall in 1814, when he returned to Tuscany, which he ruled until his death. Tuscany, Ferdinand III of Tuscany, Ferdinand III of
