Some remarks:
- The Caretaker is named "Borghese", according to my notes.
- Is Perlini playing a Sheriff or a Saxon Henchman (which not necessarily is a contradiction)
- Plebani is credited "Piebani"
- I once ID'd Romano Milani here: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=69&p=54373&hilit=R ... llo#p54373
- we have another ID already : viewtopic.php?f=114&t=366&p=6988&hilit= ... ello#p6988
- the Polentini ID is definitely right, to me
- not another Cianfriglia role
- I have Mimmo Billi as an "undertaker", but I don't see him nor an undertaker at all....

I had excluded the "presumed" undertaker because it seemed unidentifiable to me, and I don't think it's this Mimmo Billi, anyway I put it today at the end of the first post of the unidentified cast.

Also does anyone want to help identify Mimmo Rizzo and Clemente Cipriano? they are credited in other films.

This bounty hunter could be a bearded Vittorio Sancisi?
