Calabria, Italy on April 4, 1938. After his debut in the film “Sodom and

in numerous films, often in character roles. He appeared in 12 Euro-westerns
from “Fistful of Dollars” (1964) to “Pancho Villa” (1972). Sometimes
incorrectly billed as Natale Nazzareno he continued acting after the genre
faded and later appeared in Terence Hill’s ‘Don Mateo’ TV series in 2000 and
“Gangs of New York” in 2002. In 2006 he contracted a fatal disease and died in
Italy on June 21, 2006. Today we remember Nazzareno Natale on what would have
been his 75
th birthday.
Here's a more recent phot on Natale's own actor's page. To me he resembles the second photo offered by Breccio. Which leaves the question what is the name of the actor in the first photo?

The jury is still out, I think.
Breccio
Breccio, I agree with the second picture as the one I posted looks more Spanish than Italian. His website only lists 3 westerns.
