Mamma mia! The stars of Jersey Shore stars were seen spreading their GTL in Florence, Italy over the weekend.
The boys, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Pauly D, Ronnie Magro and Vinny Guadagnino, and girls, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, J-WOWW, Sammi Sweetheart and Deena Cortese, were seen strutting their stuff Saturday in the beautiful Italian Mecca as cameras rolled on the show's fourth season.
As RadarOnline.com has previously reported, the trip had a number of roadblocks, as local officials saw to it that the show would not film the cast drinking, and yanked their permits to tape at local landmarks such as the art gallery Uffizi and historic town hall Palazzo Vecchio.
But on Friday, all systems were go for the MTV ratings-getters to make the trip from Newark to the motherland.
The Situation's controversial father Frank Sorrentino said in a Youtube video he thinks the cast "will all be shunned" while in Italy.
"They certainly do not reflect what true Italian heritage is," Frank said. "I don't think any of them can speak Italian -- most of them can't speak English, if you listen to ‘em!"
