Almirante is the guy in 1 + 5, I think.
I was thinking he's probably the snake handler in 30 and 41, seems more like the online images of him

Isn't that Fortunato Arena again on the left in 8?

Girl in 20-21 is Siva Fazi. Role already in her topic, but my pics were from a much poorer source.

Girl on the left in 53 is Terry Dalton. Already identified.

Giuliana Farnese is also a spectator in the arena. Didn't spot her here, but pics are already in her topic albeit from a lesser source.
I'd wondered about that as a second role for Arena, so, since you think the same, then I guess it probably is him.

Farnese seems to have been overlooked due to being in some shots, but there being a man in her place in others. The continuity for the spectators is all over the place, with Tocci, Leone lookalike and the Balducci lookalike all turning up in several positions, while others, like Farnese, are there in some shots but have disappeared in others.

I'll upgrade the images when I add the links in the various topics - unfortunately with Fazi she's always slightly out-of-focus due to only being seen as the camera pans past her.

Unidentified credited actor Luigi Almirante.

Dan suggests he might be the Jewellery merchant (above), while I am more inclined towards the snake handler (below). Both are small speaking roles so either could be credited. What do others think?

Yeah, I think you're right. He's someone I'm familiar with, but I was a bit thrown by the hairstyle. He usually has his hair combed back.

For me the jewellery merchant best matches his features.

IMO it's for sure the jewelry merchant, here you can even see the wart

I've no idea who he is, but the actor playing the nobleman at the arena in 114 seems to be a match for the Christian prisoner here on the left in Le schiave di Cartagine which I've just been looking at. Maybe one worth keeping an eye out for, he has a quite distinctive long chin.
