The cast of Jersey Shore is going home to the motherland–only they’re not getting the welcome they would have hoped for. I can’t imagine why. Digital Spy says,

The cast of Jersey Shore have been instructed to comply with a series of guidelines while filming in Florence, Italy.

The city’s mayor, Matteo Renzi, has drafted several restrictions that he has ordered the show’s stars and producers to follow in order to ensure that Florence is portrayed positively.

In a list posted in Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera, Renzi noted that Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi and her friends are not to be filmed being served alcohol in clubs or drinking alcohol in public places so as not to promote Florence as supportive of excessive alcohol intake.

While conceding that he cannot ban the reality show from filming in his city outright, the politician, who was elected in 2009, indicated he will prevent the stars from being granted access to several of Florence’s historic facilities.

Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola recently expressed doubts as to whether Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino would be able to attract Italian women, asserting that native Italians are “more reserved and more classy” than the women Sorrentino is used to.

Considering that Florence is known to be one of the best party cities in Europe, one more greasy Italian pissing on some ancient landmark isn’t going to be anything new. That’s what you call “patina”. Sounds to me like Mr. Mayor is just trying to earn some cannoli points.
