There are many people here that give me a feeling of deja vu (especially among the concubines and handmaidens) but the only ones I can put actual names to are these:

Loredana Nusciak
Esther Nusciak.jpg

Germana Francioli
Esther Francioli.jpg

Laura Rosci

I can't decide for sure if this is Laura Rosci again with blonder hair, but it certainly resembles her

Claudio Ruffini

Looks like Thea Fleming to me, but hard to be absolutely sure

Yes, I thought it could be her too, I guess if we both thought the same independently then chances are it's probably her

I should have spotted Ruffini having just identified him in around 100 films!! Now I'm wondering if my other ID for him may be wrong as I wasn't absolutely sure

I don't know Rosci, but the 2 images certainly look like the same woman, apart from the hair colour obviously

For the maybe-Thea you do get to see her in profile, which I think is fairly conclusive that it's her. I'm surprised she's playing a courtier rather than one of the concubines

Oh, yes! Definitely Thea!

Ruffini: I'm not sure about that first role either, but it's not a great shot in any case.

Rosci: I know her quite well from fotoromanzi and it's definitely her in the blue dress, and very probably in the other pic too, but presumably wearing a wig then (she was usually dark-haired).

Could that be a young Romano Puppo?

No, but "Faux Fornari", to me.

Ah yes, that's probably who I was thinking of, I knew it was someone we have a topic for
