Re: Pietro Torrisi
There are a couple of Stracult interviews with Pietro to be found on You Tube, both dating from 2013.
The first, Intervista a Pietro Torrisi, is the better of the 2. It lasts 9 minutes and features Pietro discussing his career. It includes plenty of film clips, including several we don't yet have in his filmography. It can be viewed here.
The second, I film di "spada e sandalo", features Pietro alongside fellow peplum actors Howard Ross, Kirk Morris, Willy Colombini and Mimmo Palmara, plus some rather unnecessary comedians who waste half the show's 36 minute running time. Pietro does remove his shirt to show he still kept in shape well after his film career finished, but with so many guests there is very little time available for each individual. It can be viewed here.

A little hard to spot in the centre there, but his identity is confirmed by his identification in an interview

Bella di giorno moglie di notte (1971) credited, as "Maciste".
The images are taken from the interview with Pietro (see above) and will hopefully be replaced sooner or later.
Rudy had previously posted the credit screen and poster, so I have deleted that post and added those images here, confirming that he is credited.

Re: Pietro Torrisi
Red Sonja (1985)
Pietro confirms in the interview that he stunt-doubled for Arnold Schwarzenegger in this film, uncredited but listed on IMDb, mentioning this particular scene where Arnold, in his role as Kalidor, wrestles some kind of sea monster. Since he's doubling for Arnie then I guess that means that Pietro is also playing the role of Kalidor.
