King Umberto the First Take Two


In Monza, Italy, King Umberto I, went to a small restaurant for
dinner, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, General Emilio Ponzia-
Vaglia. When the owner took King Umberto's order, the King noticed
that he and the restaurant owner were virtual doubles, in face and
in build. Both men began discussing the striking resemblances
between each other and found many more similarities.

  • Both men were born on the same day, of the same year, (March
    14th, 1844).
  • Both men had been born in the same town.
  • Both men married a woman with same name, Margherita.
  • The restauranteur opened his restaurant on the same day that King
    Umberto was crowned King of Italy.
  • On the 29th July 1900, King Umberto was informed that the
    restauranteur had died that day in a mysterious shooting accident,
    and as he expressed his regret, he was then assassinated by an
    anarchist in the crowd.
