Unidentified actors

Uncredited actors listed as appearing by other sources, but not identified

• Franco Carli - IMDb with no role. He has 3 other credits listed by IMDb, dating from 1951, 1967 and 1987 - even if these are all the same actor, which seems unlikely, then chances of identifying him are minimal.
• Ida Masetti - IMDb as Gabriella. There is no character called by this name in the film.
• Mario Meniconi - IMDb as Paolo. There is no character called by this name in the film and Mario is nowhere to be seen.
• Lisa Romey - IMDb as Emilia. There is no character called by this name in the film.
• Roberto Spiombi - IMDb as Piero. There is no character called by this name in the film. If he does appear I'm confident that Johan will find him.

With so many roles listed by IMDb, including for some credited actors, which do not exist in the film, either the person who added them had access to some list from the production which named characters who are not named in the film itself, or else they were watching a different film altogether!

Maybe Pietro Capanna?

Maybe assistant director Mario Maffei on the far right?

Maybe Margherita Ghigliotti?

39 is Maria Mannelli.
Im not 100 percent sure but i think the woman in pic 113 and 114 is a younger Margherita Ghigliotti but i would like some other opinions too

Mannelli added, thanks.

I'm not sure about Ghigliotti. This actress's face is certainly familiar, but I'm not sure where from. Ghigliotti isn't someone I know very well, so better to wait for another opinion from someone who does know her better.

The guy brawling in 99 / 100 could maybe be Pietro Capanna, I can't make up my mind. Facially he's similar, but the eyebrows bother me - in all the images we have of Pietro I don't see any where he raises his eyebrows so high as the guy here, normally there was little or no distance between Pietro's eyes and eyebrows. Any opinions welcomed.

102 (the actor on the far right, cut off by the edge of the frame) is Mario Maffei? He was the assistant director of this film

This is a difficult one. Based on that one image from Il Davinotti it could be him, but that image presumably comes from many years later as he has no acting roles listed online between 1947-1966 and the actor playing the role IMDb says should be him in Upperseven (1966) seems to be someone completely different. In all the other images of him online he's wearing dark glasses and a cap, so not much good for making ID's. I'll mark it as a possible ID for now and maybe a better identification for him will appear in the future.
