I could imagine some of Leone's scenes coming from episodes from WW2 in Italy or from the folklore of small villages, etc. -- stories of worldly relevance that tend to romanticize and embrace life, and that communicate a universal truth even if framed in a demi-past.
His works do honor the scenery and lure of a legendary West, as I don't think it was his desire to do documentary.
Eli Wallach's "Tuco" (G.B&U.) is amazing.
