Il trionfo dei dieci gladiatori (1964)

Nick, I identified Sergio Mioni as one of the gladiators as you can see in his topic. I wanted to add the information also here in the movie topic, but I don't know how to blur the image and leave only him in focus.

I think you've confused him with credited Giuliano Dell'Ovo, who is seated at the right of the table in the first image you posted

It seems like I was wrong.
Yet Mioni should also be among these gladiators. I found a photo on Facebook in which more than one Stuntman from those years mentions Mioni as one of those present in the photo.

Whoever said it they were incorrect as in that image you only see the actors playing the 10 gladiators of the title. My guess is that someone may have mistaken him for Aldo Canti if the ID was based solely on that shot.

There were 14 stuntmen and actors who played the 10 Gladiators over 3 films.

Dan Vadis, Salvatore Borgese, Emilio Messina, Giuliano Dell'Ovo, Pietro Torrisi and Aldo Canti appeared across all 3 films.

Pino Mattei, Giancarlo Bastianoni, Ugo Sasso and John Turner only appeared in the first film.

Enzo Fiermonte, Frank Oliveras, Jeff Cameron and Armando Bottin replaced them in the 2 sequels.

Of course it could be quite possible that Mioni could appear elsewhere in any of the films, but just not in the scene that image is from.

For reference in that image are (left to right) Armando Bottin, Giuliano Dell'Ovo, Salvatore Borgese, Pietro Torrisi, Emilio Messina, Aldo Canti, Frank Oliveras and Dan Vadis (Jeff Cameron and Enzo Fiermonte are missing).

Armando Bottin and Frank Oliveras are stuntmen/actors who should be good subjects for future topics if anyone feels so inclined. A topic for Dan Vadis is in preparation. The others all have topics already.

99 - the very right soldier is Michele Branca.
