Storyline

Salvatore Cangemi known as "Toto" is the leader of a successful prostitution ring in Milan. But what was once a peaceful time in the underworld is suddenly interrupted by a French drug lord, Roger Daverty, who offers a partnership with Cangemi by supplying the Toto's prostitutes with heroin. But Salvatore doesn't want to have anything to do with this new intruder on his territory and refuses the deal. And as Cangemi soon finds out, Daverty isn't one to be messed with. Daverty proves his point by having Toto's escort clientele being beaten, raped, disfigured and arrested. This results into small skirmishes between the two gangs which is now on the verge of eclipsing into a full-blown mafia war. An American-raised mafia veteran named Billy Barone is called to secretly turn Daverty's gang inside out without the use of violence...

Henry, Billy Barone's friend is Guido Gagliardi

Hotel receptionist could be a very young Alfonso Santagata? The first film reported on his imdb profile dates back to 1989

I'm not familiar with any of these actors, so can anyone else help confirming (or not) the IDs?

Guido Gagliardi: I don't think so.

Luciana Luppi? 99% yes in my opinion.

Yes Luppi and Gagliardi, in my opinion
