Whether we like it or not, the cast of Jersey Shore is headed to Italy to burn that bridge we've been protecting from other American tourists for so long. And Italy is preparing for their arrival... with some good ol' fashioned rules. According to the NY Post, via this Italian newspaper, mayor of Florence Matteo Renzi has made a list of strict guidelines the reality startards will have to follow when they get there. It goes something like this:
- The cast will not be filmed in bars and clubs that serve alcohol.
- The cast will not be filmed drinking in public.
- The show will not be filmed to promote Florence as a drinking town.
- The show should be filmed in a manner to promote Italy (not Americans visiting Italy) and feature it’s culture and good food.
While the cast is banned from the city’s historic buildings, as well, Renzi says he “could not ban them from using the city (Florence) as a set.” Meanwhile, MTV has started to air the show for the first time in the country, and locals are terrified... particularly those with daughters, as Pauly D aims to pick up a wife while he's in town. (And by the way, he'll be in our town on Thursday, spinning at Pacha.)
