Identifying the Amazons!
La regina delle Amazzoni (1962) credits 32 actresses as playing Amazons. Of those less than a quarter are currently identified. Let's see if we can improve on that and maybe even find some new friends in the process.

Re: Identifying the Amazons!
There are 8 other actresses credited with roles as Amazons.
Dorian Gray
Gianna Maria Canale
Daniela Rocca
Adrianna Fachetti
The 4 High Priestesses. Since we now have topics for 3 of the 4 I think we can safely say they are all identified.

Her only other known credits are all for costumes.
Virginia Quercioli

Re: Identifying the Amazons!
Uncredited Amazons
In addition to the credited actresses there are some quite high profile names who pop up in uncredited roles. Given that Lorella De Luca went for years before being identified, then it is quite possible there could be one or two more "name" actresses hidden away amongst the unidentified.
Luciana Angiolillo
Lorella De Luca
Giorgia Moll

Re: Identifying the Amazons!
This Frances Dean, apparently an English actress, in the fotoromanzo "L'amore ha due volti" (Cine Illustrato, 1960). She's clearly unknown number 9

Re: Identifying the Amazons!
This is Marinella Gennuso (on the left) in the TV mini series Peppino Girella (1963)
I'm thinking she could possibly be unknown 3. For more comparison, it should be noted that in addition to the titles listed on her IMDb page, Marinella is also credited in another peplum: Giulio Cesare contro i pirati (1962). So that's one to check.
Also, Unknown 7 is Anna Maria Surdo. I don't have any pics to post right at this moment, but I know very well what she looks like from numerous fotoromanzi.
