It was the same Luigi, right?

Context: In 1922, King Victor Emmanuel III was told by his Prime Minister Luigi Facta to declare a state of siege and stop Mussolini's march. The king said no, thinking he could control the fascists. This meme is a pun on that Luigi and the famous video game Luigi, who would have been way more reliable. Too bad Mario hogged all the fame.
