Unidentified cast #1
Rice female paddy workers
Andreina: she play one of the prominent parts among the "mondine", but it's likely she's not credited. There's a little possibility that she's played by

Emilia Carpeniti, called "Argentina": another supporting actress among the rice paddy workers who interact with the protagonists (visible here also in snapshots 12 to 15). She has several scenes in which she speaks some lines. So she could be
Maria Capuzzo and also
ANICA states it.
