Any opinions on these?

Diego Michelotti?

Dada Gallotti?

Ray Martino?

[Cinema Italiano]

The first Roman on the left in photo 43 could be Enrico Chiappafreddo ?

The first Roman on the left in photo 43 could be Enrico Chiappafreddo ?

Yes, I think it could be. Here's a couple of (very slightly) different shots, see what others think.

[PeplumParadise]

Ignazio Dolce, listed as appearing as an actor on the Tototruffa site with no role, is one of the more problematic C.S.C. actors, in that he has a multitude of credits and hardly any identified appearances. Here in one of his few conclusively identified roles, in Il vecchio testamento, but I don't see any obvious matches among our unidentified actors.

[Johan Melle]

Yes, Chiappafreddo for sure!

And in 32, the guy right behind Giustini is the so-called "Faux Fornari".

Guy on the far right in 17 looks like it should be the "Lancio Barman".

25-27 is definitely not Dada Gallotti.

I also not convinced by the Nadine Sanders ID. I doesn't look like her to me. It looks more like Franca Polesello (who I think is also a far more likely candidate to play this type of uncredited role than Sanders).
