A couple of uncertain ID's from Barabba, due to neither of them being too clear. Any opinions?

He's not seen too clearly and from an awkward angle, plus he's wearing a silly wig, but I think this is probably Veriano Ginesi

and again not too clear due to him being in the background and moving, but based on the way he looks in Ercole alla conquista di Atlantide the same year, plus the fact that brother Elio is in the same scene which seems to be a good indicator, I think this is probably Giovanni Bonadonna on the left (he seems to be fighting an invisible opponent!)

This must be Giovanni Bonadonna in Il giocattolo (1979) as a judoka

That's him for sure, though I have no idea what a judoka is
It's the term used for someone who is a practitioner of judo.

Yes, 100 % Bonadonna. Judoka = Athlete practicing judo martial art :)

Yes, never heard of it before, but I looked it up on Wikipedia, and if it's on there it must be true!

That Blu-ray release of Barabbas is rather underwhelming, isn't it? But anyway, yes, that would have to be Veriano based on what little we see of his way, but also the general posture and build etc.

The possible Bonadonna is even less visible, so tough to say. Not really possible to be sure, but should probably be him, yes.

I'm thinking this role identified as Emilio Messina in Le decima victima is actually Elio Bonadonna...

Yeah, I agree that it's Elio rather than Emilio.

Btw, can you also check Hercules (1983) for the Bonadonnas? I don't have it available now but I'm pretty sure Giovanni is one of the eight men Hercules fights at once during the tournament. Maybe Elio too.

Could this be Elio Bonadonna in Toto' ciak! (1967) as a henchman ?

Soft image, but I think so, yes. I have a nice version of this one so I can check to make sure.
