9-10-11 on the right could be Ivano Staccioli?
Not Staccioli to me.

I don't think it's Staccioli either, though he is very familiar, but I can't think where from

Norma Nedici - IMDb as Normal party guest. "Nedici" has no other credits, but could it maybe refer to Nona Medici?
Yes, it's really Nona Medici. She was an American dubbing actress. That's her in pic 87.

Some others:

9-11: On the left is the famous fotoromanzo actor Luciano Francioli.

17: Franco Tribuni on the right.

31: Nancy Lecchini.

53: Carlo Kechler.

60: Man at the table on the left looks like Valerio Tordi to me.

64: Can't remember his name, but this is a well-known Italian actor, so someone here must surely know!

92-93: Man with glasses is maybe Eugene Walter?

92: The black man must be Don Powell, I think.

100: The young man in the front row is fotoromanzo actor Alessandro Zippel. And the blonde older woman on the right in the second row is Mara Carisi with a wig.

116: This is the very famous fotoromanzo actress Adriana Rame, who was also a fashion model and whose real name was Adria Ramacci. She is also seen on the far left in 140.

126: The woman on the left (also seen in 130, 158 and some others) is Veronica Wells.

133: The woman behind Alessandro Zippel here looks to be fotoromanzo actress Maria Teresa Orsini.

134: Laughing woman with dark hat on the right is the fotoromanzo actress Fausta Farina.

169: I think this is Marcello Di Martire.

This man in red could be Spartaco Battisti.

He should be Gustavo De Nardo.
Thank you - Battisti, Carisi, De Nardo, Di Martire, Farina, Francioli, Kechler, Lecchini, Medici, Orsini, Powell, Rame, Tordi, Tribuni, Walter, Wells, West and Zippel all now added. 2nd role for Lecchini awaiting confirmation.

Including 8 identified by myself, that makes 23 new undocumented identifications generated by this topic so far!

This is Mathilda Calnan, who IMDb list as playing "Old party guest"

The only unidentified party guest I can see who could be described as "old" is the one below, but with the excessive make-up and lavender wig I really can't tell if it can be the same woman. Any opinions?

We have all 3 of the actors listed as playing "Italian boy" by IMDb identified in other film topics (their definition of "boy" seems to be a rather generous one, since all 3 were well into their 20's at this point). I don't see any obvious matches for any of them, but from the vague role description I suppose they could appear anywhere in the film.

133: And I think we have Nancy Lecchini on the far right (face only partially visible).
She does fleetingly come into view. Is it her in a 2nd role?

I would say so, yes!

YES! That's just the guy I was thinking of. You nailed it. Thanks!

Definitely not the lavender wig lady in my opinion. I don't think Calnan is at the party at all. I do, however, think that she might be one of the fashion house fitters, namely the one seen on the right in 125 and again in 140 (behind the woman who looks like she's about to faint).

As for Botta, Kamel and Segurini, I must say that I cannot see any obvious candidates...

Yes, I think you're right, the features match, so I'll get her added too. Useful to have her identified anyway as she should also appear in 8 1/2, which is on the cards for a topic sooner or later.

I'm doubtful any of them appear, the only characters I would really think might be called "Italian boys" are the ones who appear from nowhere for the musical number on the Tiber, but none of them seem much like any of these 3.
