Recent technology and experiments have fabricated high-quality superconducting MgB2 nanoparticles. We investigate properties of two-gap superconductivity in nanosized systems by using atwo-sublevel model. In the present work, we analyze the results obtained for superconducting granulesin the case of multiband superconductivity. We discuss the finite size effect in multibandsuperconductors. A definition of the critical level spacing of two-gap superconductivity is also presented,and we discuss the condensation energy and the parity gap of two-gap superconductivityin relation to the size dependence of those properties with two bulk gaps and the effective pairscattering process between two sublevels
