OK, not really, but Snooki, The Situation, JWoww and the rest of the cast are in fact leaving the eastern seaboard for the motherland of Italy to tape their fourth season.

MTV confirmed this report, and is already scouting locations in Italy for the cast’s new digs.

This dramatic change of location just can’t be good for the U.S./European diplomatic relations. One just has to wonder how much more the Europeans will hate us after the most infamous American guido and guidette crew infiltrate their beloved land with their binge drinking, fist-pumping, hair-teasing, bar brawling ways.
