He's Enrico Zanetti, from Legnano (near Milan).

In 1984 he was 15 years old and achieved 1,001,073,840 points in ~41h of continuous play.
In this Bar (I think

).

The record was validated by the Italian Video "Athletics" Association (AIVA), hi-score photo taken etc.

He was even interviewed during the record by a local TV...
and apparently this long lost video footage has magically resurfaced in 2010, thanks to a director who's preparing a movie on Tim McVey's Nibbler record and got in touch with the "italian guy".

Zanetti's record is not (yet?) acknowledged by Twin Galaxies...

P.S.
The photo is from an interview by the Italian magazine "Videogiochi", conducted the following year. He's into Kick Boxing now, if you google him...
