Earlier last year, author/tech-nerd Benj Edwards managed to procure an old photograph of the elusive Segale (attached below), as well as some information regarding the man. Read about the investigation here.

Wow, finally. After years of constantly name-dropping this guy with absolutely no other information, we can finally confirm that Mario Segale did indeed exist.
