"The Italian Bob" is the eighth episode of The Simpsons' seventeenth season. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on December 11, 2005. It features Kelsey Grammer in his ninth appearance as Sideshow Bob and is the first time the Simpsons visit Italy. Among the locations they visit in this episode are Pisa, Pompeii, Tuscany, Rome and Venice.

After Mr. Burns gets teased about his old car by the kids at Springfield Elementary School, he sends Homer to pick up a brand new Lamborg otti Faste rossa car (a parody of the Lamborghini Gallardo) in Italy. The family flies over on Alitalia, and have a great time touring the country, despite Homer and Bart's mockery of the culture and history of Italy (causing an embarrassed Lisa to pretend to be Canadian so no one will assume that she is part of the family, though this backfires when Homer brings in an American flag to smooch off the other passengers). After two huge wheels, one made of Mortadella and the other of cheese lands on their car and crushes the hood, they slowly push it into a small (fictional) Tuscan village nearby called Salsiccia (sausage), and are told that the mayor speaks English.
