The mayor of Florence wants to make sure that the cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore respect certain rules in his town.
Matteo Renzi has put together a list of restrictions that will ensure The Situation and Pauly D behave themselves on ½ûÂþÌìÌà soil.
½ûÂþÌìÌà newspaper has published the guidelines that the infamous Americans must abide by. They include:
-No scenes can be shot in clubs or bars.
-No drinking in public. Cast members may not be taped with drinks in hand while outside.
-Florence must not be promoted as a party city.
-The show must focus on promoting Italy, not Americans in Italy, with an emphasis on culture and good food.
-Producers are prohibited from using any of Florence’s historic buildings for filming.
Whether or not the rules will be honored remains to be seen, but ½ûÂþÌìÌà critics have already voiced their outrage at the Americanized ½ûÂþÌìÌà stereotypes portrayed in the show.
Despite being clearly unwelcome, the show is set to begin filming in Florence next month.
