Marina Malfatti RIIP: Me, Me, Me and The King and His Double

The Deaths in 2016 lists under June 8:
Marina Malfatti, 76, Italian actress (The Night Evelyn Came Out of the GraveThe Red Queen Kills Seven Times).
Note from her list of filmography:
The only one that came out during a twin year and a 66 at that!!  I chose one name from the list of cast that stood out:
It's both his first and surname that stand out.  His surname is a cryptic "door see" and his name I remember having heard for the first time, on reading one of the MacGregor's post to their earlier "synchronicity" blog that they have since renamed "synchrosecrets", of course after deleting certain posts (like the first one to this blog that concerns the "timely" death of Michael Jackson).  I recollect that the post was about a "King" named Umberto and his doppleganger.  So venturing to their blog I was able to locate.  Keep in mind that they could end up deleting this one as well, as part of their censorship campaign.  The post is called "The King And His Double".  The King being referred to in the post is :
Umberto I (14 March 1844 – 29 July 1900) 
Note from Umberto D'orsi's wiki page:
Umberto D'Orsi (30 July 1929 – 31 August 1976)
Whoah... Double whammy!!  First of all, Megan MacGregor (Trish and Rob's daughter) celebrates her birthday on August 31st... she was born on the anniversary of his death.    And the date of death of Umberto 1 and the birthday of Umberto D'Orsi generates a "July 29, 30, __/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.

On reading the post and comments I realize that I had made a comment and it's still up (they have deleted most of my comments, especially where I sign as Toumai, after starting my first blog Toumai), I see that I commented as May in this one.   Because I can't trust the MacGregor's to keep the post up and comments up, I will repost below:
 

The King and His Double 

This story from 1900 reminds me of some of the synchronistic parallels involving identical twins. Even though the two men – King Umberto I of Italy and the owner of a small restaurant in Monza – weren’t related, they looked like twins and their lives held numerous astonishing parallels. This story was originally published in Ripley’s Ghost Stories and Plays. So back in time we go…

July 28, 1900
King Umberto I of Italy and his aide-de-camp, a general, arrived in the town of Monza, where the king was supposed to present prizes at an athletic competition the next day. Since even kings get hungry,he and his general went to dinner at a small restaurant in town that evening.
As the owner of the restaurant took their order, the king noticed that he and the man looked like twins – their faces, their physiques. When he mentioned it, he and the owner started talking and discovered some intriguing parallels in their lives. Both men were born on March 14, 1844, in the same town, and had the same first name – Umberto. Both had been married on April 22, 1868, to a woman named Margherita. Both had a son named Vittorio. On the day of the king’s coronation, the other Umberto had opened his restaurant.
It gets even stranger. The king, astonished by these parallels, asked the restaurant owner how it was that their paths had never crossed before. But Umberto the restaurant guy told the king that their paths had crossed twice, when they were both decorated for bravery – in 1866 and again in 1870.
With this revelation, Umberto the common man left to wait on his other patrons and the king told the general to be sure to invite his double to the games. He intended to make him a Cavaliere of the Crown of Italy. But the next day, when the king asked for his double, he was informed that the man had been killed in a shooting accident. Shocked, the king told the general to find out about funeral arrangements. At that very moment, an assassin fired three shots. The first shot missed the king, but the next two tore through his heart, killing him instantly.

The web site Abovetopsecret.com also includes this story with even more detail. The writer concludes that the two Umbertos were actually twins.

“Twins being a major problem in royal lineages, for obvious reasons, one of the boys was given away immediately after birth, but was also called Umberto, either by chance (by the family who adopted him) – or even on purpose, to secure a credible ‘spare.’ That would explain everything, even the subsequent ‘coincidences.’ (Many studies of the lives of identical twins show that their spouses are often very similar in appearance, share the same name etc. Twins often also die on the same day – although in this case even the death could be explained in a more sinister and less coincidental light…)”

    We figured you would like this one, May!

    I read the blog and though the topic is of huge interest, I gave it barely a thought since I need to do some pressing computer work. As I begin my work, I notice a fluttering at the right corner of my screen– its a humming bird– reflecting from the window behind me– a “mirror image”.
    Now here’s the synchronicity: my immediate thought after reading the blog was of the Dion Quintuplets, and in particular, an odd piece of info from the book that I read over twenty years ago still stands out today– that one of the twins (considered the fifth) is what is known as a ‘mirror image twin’– meaning ie: the swirl pattern of her hair goes in the opposite direction from that of her identical siblings.
    Nature is so complex :-)(-:
