Present at the fashion show in Studio legale per una rapina (1973).

Alfonso (here with Silvio Klein) is one of the many ex-husbands of Giuliana Rivera in the TV series K 2 + 1 - episode 7: "10° marito" (1971).
Giganti - K 2 + 1 (7).jpg

And here is a rare credited role for Alfonso as a station master in the sceneggiato La vigna di uve nere (1984)! It's impossible to get any good shots, but it is him!

Our dear Alfonso has a terrific role in Arriva Dorellik (1967). He plays a waiter who comes to serve on Johnny Dorelli and his four lady friends - just when Johnny is busy giving kisses to all four ladies.

But Johnny isn't paying attention and when he turns around to kiss another one of the ladies, he instead kisses Alfonso by mistake!

And here is Alfonso in Zeffirelli's La Traviata (1982).

I think this is Alfonso in Assalto al tesoro di stato (1967).

Very early role and with a lot of hair in Zorro contro Maciste (1963).

Anyway, here is Alfonso with his usual hairstyle in La sfida dei giganti (1965) - fairly large speaking part as a sailor.

I've seen few mins of Totò contro il pirata nero (1964) on tv and he appears 2 times in the same scene in the castle but with different roles: first as party guest (maybe as Officer) and than as guard but with the mustache :)
I've found this film and Alfonso does indeed appear two times during the long sequence at the castle. As far as I can tell, though, he appears to be playing the same character (a guard) the whole time and has the same costume both times.

Here he is holding his helmet:

And later he has it on:

A fotoromanzo role which was originally published in the old forum:
Alfonso has a VERY BIG and important role as a judge in "Incidente di vita", a fotoromanzo in 14 parts that was published in the magazine Grand Hotel from March to May in 1985

Unfortunately, he's uncredited, which is a bit of a small scandal considering how big his role is!
