The building behind Carpaccio here doesn't seem to match.

Neither does the building behind Pepperoni.

Anchovy tries to reveal...

A secret weapon here down by the Fontana della Barcaccia at the bottom of the steps.

But everybody runs off when it's time for lunch instead.

The Spanish Steps are also shown later in the OVA when Yukari goes to Anzio High on an infiltration mission.

During this part we also see the Colosseum.

The Napolitan pasta dish that Pepperoni cooks is actually a Japanese invention. I ate other pasta dishes while in Italy though, including home-cooked pasta.

Another view of the Colosseum.

Stairs inside the Colosseum.

Image from This Is The Real Anzio Battle - 07m10s


This seems to be the place that matches the most inside the Colosseum.

The Colosseum is where Anchovy finally reveals the secret weapon.



No map since these are famous tourist attractions.

These locations were visited on 2018/10/07, 2018/10/08 and 2018/10/09. The pasta picture is from 2018/10/17.
