Is anyone else noticing the numerous Italian references in Adventure Time?

Here are some spaghetti and meatball examples:
 * 1) In "To Cut a Woman's Hair"...Finn and PB eat spaghetti and meatballs together while Finn tries to charm PB out of a lock of hair.
 * 2) In "Rainy Day Daydream"...Gunter the penguin is shown with a dish of spaghetti and meatballs in Finn's imagination.
 * 3) In "The Enchiridion!"...The Key-per, dressed in a devilish pajamas, serves up spaghetti and meatballs to Finn, Jake, and Mannish Man in the end.
 * 4) In the CN game "FusionFall", the Key-per's hat can either be used to open doors or to eat spaghetti.
 * 5) In "Go With Me"...Finn references to Marceline that Jake only needs some spaghetti to bring him back down from being upset.
 * 6) In "Ricardio the Heart Guy"...PB, Finn, and Jake enjoy a spaghetti and meatball dinner together in the end.
 * 7) In "Gotcha"...In order to satisfy LSP's hunger, Finn comes across some leftover spaghetti and meatballs in the treefort freezer.
 * 8) In "Mortal Folly"...Jake was meditating about pillows stuffed with spaghetti.
 * Here are some other possible Italian references:


 * 1) In "Marceline's Closet"...Marceline eats shades of red from multiple sources, but there is a heavy reference to tomato products in her fridge (tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, tomato juice, hot sauce, and her note stated that she was going out to buy ketchup). Also, there are maraschino cherries in the fridge...marasca cherries are known to grow well in Italy.
 * 2) In "Beautopia"...The torch structure could be the Stratosphere or the Landmark casinos. Both structures are in Las Vegas, NV...a place with an obvious Italian link.  Jake talks about the "fish people".  Could they be Italian "boat people" that came through Ellis Island back in the day?  That could mean that Susan has an Italian background, but is an American (has no "boat people" gills, possibly).
 * 3) In "Daddy's Little Monster"...Hunson has a small, "Las Vegas" plaque in his kitchen on the cabinet to the left of the window. The large picture on the kitchen wall shows a southwest-style, desert scene, as well.
 * 4) In "Sons of Mars"...The title of the episode itself is a reference to the founders of Rome and the Roman people. Also, the Gob/Glob/Grob/Grod character is dressed like a Cardinal from the Vatican.
 * Either the AT creators love Italian food, people, and landmarks, or this cartoon series has something to do with Italians. Please pass the pasta!
