For a definition of what a spaghetti Western is, exactly, the easiest way to describe them is to say that they’re Westerns made primarily (or at least partly) in Italy. Or, if they weren’t filmed in Italy, but were produced by Italy and/or had Italian directors helming them, they probably count as spaghetti Westerns, too. It’s also worth noting that the golden era of the spaghetti Western didn’t last all that long, because the sub-genre’s heyday was the 1960s, and maybe a bit of the 1970s, too.
