This man spent his youth in the Italian town of Capri working as a shop-boy at a confectionery shop. Is this the face of an agile athlete or a heartless serial killer?

Italian native Dorando Pietri was a long-distance runner who finished first in the marathon at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London. However, he was subsequently disqualified from the race for receiving help from the umpires. Arthur Conan Doyle of the Daily Mail wrote about Pietri saying, "The Italian's great performance can never be effaced from our record of sport, be the decision of the judges what it may."
