Sneaky's Daily Did You Know....? - What a Coincidence
When King Umberto I of Italy and his aide visited a Monza restaurant in the summer of 1900, the king couldn't help noticing that the restaurant owner was a dead ringer for him.
They got into a conversation and it emerged that both men were called Umberto and both had been born in the same town on 14 March 1844. Furthermore, both had been married on 22 April 1868, to a woman called Margherita, and each had named his son Vittorio.
On the day of Umberto's coronation, the other Umberto had opened his restaurant.
The day after their encounter, the king was saddened to learn that his double had been killed in a shooting accident. As he asked his aide to find out about the funeral, three shots rang out from an assassin's gun. King Umberto was shot dead.
