Pietro Umberto Acciarito (1871-1943) Italian anarchist.
Pietro Acciarito attempted to assassinate the Italian king Umberto I (1844-Â1900) on April 22, 1897.
At trial, Acciarito's five supposed accomplices were found not guilty as the only evidence against them was Acciarito's statement made under extreme duress.
Acciarito, however, was found guilty of attempted regicide and sentenced to life imprisonment. While in solitary confinement, he went insane. He was then transferred to the same asylum as the assassin Giovanni Passannante, where he lived out the remainder of his life.
The same eugenicists who examined Passannante's brain concluded that because Acciarito's head was oval-shaped, he was predisposed to assassination.
Yup...
