Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Mount Vesuvius as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Mount Vesuvius, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
