Maybe a 2nd role for Franco Ukmar?

The poor generici playing spectators at the arena don't get a single close-up, meaning they are left unidentifiable

Maybe Franco Pasquetto on the right?

77. Johan doesn't think this is Mondino, so he's back to the unidentifieds. Maybe Roberto Ceccacci?

[FatmanDan]

The long-faced guy second from left in 72 is Francesco De Leone; maybe like in 16 and 32 the one with the long blond hair.

Both roles added, hopefully I picked the right one in a shot filled with guys with long blonde hair

[Johan Melle]

The actor identified as Giovanni Petrucci is actually Dario Michaelis instead.

The actor identified as Enzo Mondino is not him. He might possibly be Roberto Ceccacci, but not at all sure...

21: Isn't that Franco Ukmar?

34: Should be "Old Gangster" on the far right.

45, 59, 68: The black man in these pics is a guy named David Abramo, who appeared in some fotoromanzi.

Thanks, fixed / deleted / added

Not sure about the 2nd role for Franco, what do others think?
