The one on the right should be him, but I've never been entirely certain. The features do seem to match if compared to images from the same angle, but he's only seen for a moment in Ben-Hur so that's all you getJohan Melle wrote: ↑19/05/2022, 18:55And speaking of Poggi: who is he supposed to be in Ben-Hur? The one on the right or on the left? Neither of them look much like Poggi to me.
In Ben-Hur I personally do not think it's him.
Yes, the guard listed as Poggi in Ben-Hur is also in my opinion not him. I talked to Poggi in 2003. His English was very good. He did work in Ben-Hur as stuntman + as maestro d'armi since he substituted for Enzo Musumeci Greco for some time.
His first film was Il conte di Matera (1957). He said that "practically every Italian stuntman" was in Ben-Hur. Haven't been able to reach him lately. He is probably dead. How do I add Il conte di Matera to his filmography here?
