A 008 operazione Sterminio (1965), credited under the anglicized name "Johnny Ravenna", as Engineer who is kidnapped by the bad guys but.
Unfortunately, he only appears very briefly. First when he's kidnapped...
Operazione Sterminio - Ravenna1.jpg
...and then later when Alberto Lupo finds him murdered
Operazione Sterminio - Ravenna2.jpg
Operazione Sterminio - Ravenna3.jpg
And here his credit from the opening titles
Operazione Sterminio - Ravenna4.jpg

Silenzio: si uccide (1967), credited, as the Professor - pics by Emiliano
Silenzio Si Uccide - Domenico Ravenna2.jpg
Silenzio Si Uccide - Domenico Ravenna1.jpg

La bambola di Satana (1969), credited, as Mr. Shinton, who becomes the killer's first victim. A very good role.

Domenico also appeared in some fotoromanzi for Lancio. He was usually uncredited but here are 3 fotoromanzi where in which he was credited:

First in Le avventure di Jacques Douglas N. 4: "Love in Portofino - Operazione Sparrow" (January 1966) - scanned from the French edition
Jacques Douglas 4 - Ravenna.jpg

As a KGB man in Le avventure di Jacques Douglas N. 37: "Buongiorno spia" (October 1968)
Jacques Douglas 37 - Ravenna.jpg

And here in Le avventure di Lucky Martin N. 5: "Si muore solo tre volte" (February 1969) - together with Anna Maria Perego
Lucky Martin 5 - Ravenna.jpg

And then a few more fotoromanzo roles - all uncredited:

Darling N. 13: "Ogni notte il tuo volto" (March 1968)
Darling 13 - Domenico Ravenna.jpg

Le avventure di Lucky Martin N. 27: "Telefonata nella notte" (December 1970) - without his usual glasses this time
Lucky Martin 27 - Domenico Ravenna.jpg

Le avventure di Jacques Douglas N. 69: "Il fiore della morte" (June 1971)
Jacques Douglas 69 - Domenico Ravenna.jpg

And finally the biggest fotoromanzo role I have seen for him in Le avventure di Lucky Martin N. 48: "Hanno rapito Bob Carter" (September 1972), for which he'd deserved to be credited

L'olandese scomparso (3-part TV series) (1974), as a Caretaker who uintentionally surprises and scares the protagonist (Giuseppe Pambieri) in the dark. Pretty nice little role for Domenico.
L'Olandese Scomparso - Domenico Ravenna.jpg

Spasmo (1974), as a Priest seen in the 8mm footage. Domenico is also in this bizarre giallo. First he leads the confirmation ceremony. And a little later he leads the funeral.

L'uomo della strada fa giustizia (1975), as Priestagain - this time at the hospital
L'Uomo Dalla Strada - Ravenna.jpg

40 gradi all'ombra del lenzuolo (Segment "La guardia del corpo") (1976), as Dayle Haddon's Majordomo in this sex comedy

I do think this is Domenico in an early role from Il comandante (1963)

Here Domenico in the night club scene of L'ora di uccidere (1964)
L'Ora Di Uccidere - Domenico Ravenna.jpg

And in Se permettete parliamo di donne (1964)
Se Permettere - Ravenna.jpg

Domenico in Le dolci signore (1968)
Le Dolci Signore - Ravenna.jpg

Here in La bambolona (1968) with Giuseppe Ravenna, i wonder if they are brothers, not only because the same surname, but also because they are really similar by a pshyical point of view (only Giuseppe is a little fat, but if you look at their faces they are similar)
