When I've watched DVDs of Sergio Leone's "Spaghetti Westerns", such as A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, I've had the option to choose soundtracks in either English or Italian. Both soundtracks seem to have been recorded by the original cast, and it isn't clear whether one or the other matches the actors' lips.
I'm afraid there is no "single original language". Actors performed using each one their own original language and then the movie was dubbed in the countries as necessary: in Italy, the English and Spanish actors, in the U.S. the Spanish actors and so on. Not even in the Italian version the lips are always synced so it's the same situation for everyone.
Every Italian movie in those years was dubbed: it was difficult to catch up the sounds and the voices with contemporary tecniques and directors cared more about the movies itself than the actors' voices. Each actor performed using his own voice and language and the movies were then dubbed (and not always synced).
As far as it is known no language is preferable, you can either watch it in Italian or English (there aren't puns you can't understand in one language or other). Also, maestro Sergio Leone never spoke about this.
Upon some enquiry, it turns out the Italians adamantly prefer dubbed films to subtitled ones. This is quite different from what we typically find in Canada and the US, with the exception of Quebec, where we generally prefer our foreign films and TV programs with subtitles. Due to the vast quantity of American movies that make their way to Italy, I thought this must be a serious career being a voice artist, so I did some digging.
In my research, I came across this article by Roderick Conway Morris. It is old, written in 1992, but gives us a look at the importance of the dubbing industry in Italy and how it started. The quote below is dated, but is interesting insight nonetheless. I would love to be able to compare current-day figures.
Its not a popular saying as such, but I have heard from Italian friends that they say whenever there is a problem for a teenager, their American father will take them fishing; based on the number of American movies in which this takes place!
One of the aspects of the course that make it interesting for instructors and students alike is that it attracts a very diverse body of students. The diversity has increased since the course was shifted to an online format during the pandemic. The accessibility of course content has been upgraded, and students have more ownership over their learning and flexibility in their interaction with classmates.
The course aims to be comparative and presents opportunities to compare and contrast American and Italian cultures. Both American and Italian movies and television shows are included in the course content. Among American favorites are The Sopranos, The Godfather, and Goodfellas.

Lots of good films in your list but I take exception with The Tourist Margie as that was a complete turkey!!! They used lots of different locations in Venice but mixed them all up so they walked into one building and then looked out the window of a completely different one! A hideous film but thanks for the rest of the list!!!!
This particular style of Italian-produced murder mystery horror-thriller film usually blends the atmosphere and suspense of thriller fiction with elements of horror fiction (such as slasher violence) and eroticism (similar to the French fantastique genre), and often involves a mysterious killer whose identity is not revealed until the final act of the film. The genre developed in the mid-to-late 1960s, peaked in popularity during the 1970s, and subsequently declined in commercial mainstream filmmaking over the next few decades, though examples continue to be produced. It was a predecessor to, and had significant influence on, the later American slasher film genre.[2]
In the Italian language, giallo is a genre of novel including any literary genre involving crime and mystery, with all its sub-genres such as crime fiction, detective story, murder mystery, or thriller-horror.[3]
