The story is true but the picture is not related. Man in the picture is Folco Lulli, an italian actor.

Okay, but that's the Italian actor Folco Lulli from the 1953 movie The Wages of Fear. He plays the character Luigi, while French actor Yves Montand plays the tall skinny character Mario (I kid you NOT).
