Molte Grazie, Italia: we will be spared the sight of the Situation sneering at a marble statue and telling the dude he's too pale. New York Post says:
The yanked permits might have something to do with the fact that the show started airing in Italy recently, and people were not happy to see Italians depicted as alcoholic cretins. The mayor of Florence had decreed, in that inimitable European fashion that comes in handy sometimes, that they couldn't shoot in clubs or bars. Why? BECAUSE, that's why. The city had issued permits to shoot in the Uffizi museum and the Palazzo Vecchio, but apparently someone woke up and said "we did what?" and that was the end of that.
