Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Set here

Video games and Anime that take place here. None of them is filmed anywhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason. The rows marked per its source work are placed by the book they adapt rather than by a statement of their own.

And 2 more set here:

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Rome, 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.

And 28 more, per Wikipedia:

Drawn from this place

Productions whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Rome as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
