Jersey Shore season 4

Indeed. It's enough to make one wonder if this development isn't a crafty diversionary tactic hatched by Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who's engulfed in a massive sex scandal fueled by lurid tales from underage prostitutes and showgirls. Those stories will seem like nursery rhymes once Italians get a load of the "Jersey Shore" gang.  MTV confirmed this report, and is already scouting locations in Italy, similar to the way they did it in Miami for Season 2, to find the right locales.
Two months ago, Shore executives began working on getting visas for the cast and crew. No word if Snooki's arrest record will prohibit her entry.

Said MTV Executive Vice President of Programming, Chris Linn:

“While the stateside “Jersey Shore” locales have become iconic for our audience it’s really the constantly evolving dynamic amongst the cast that keeps them coming back each season, and Europe is a fresh spin on a show that continues to reach new heights for us…The cast is headed to the birthplace of the culture they love and live by. We can’t wait to see what erupts as a result.”
