A Fist Full of Dollars

 

I hadn't seen this in a while and was in the mood for a Western so I put
it on. The Man With No Name arrives in a small town controlled by two
rival gangs and works to liberate the town from them.

 It's amazing that Italy looks like the Old West, isn't it?

If I remember correctly, (many of) the spaghetti westerns were actually filmed in Spain, not Italy.
IMDB confirms that Fistful of Dollars was indeed filmed in Spain and goes on to list over 100 other films, some quite famous, that were filmed there, including the entire Dollars Trilogy, Cleopatra, Lawrence of Arabia, etc.:

I've never been to Spain but they apparently have terrain that resembles the American Southwest, as well as Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula.
