Original Title: TIL that King Umberto I of Italy was eating in a restaurant when he noticed the owner was a near-exact physical double. It emerged that both were born on the same day, in the same town, and had married women with the same name. Umberto was shot dead on the day he learned the restaurateur was killed.
