"mcitaly" news and stories

by Catherine Donaldson-Evans

McDonald's is building its Roman Empire.

In Rome, the fast food giant introduced a new "McItaly" line of burgers made entirely with Italian ingredients, ABC News reported Tuesday.

Italy's Agriculture Minister, Luca Zaia, donned a McDonald's apron to help prepare the new fast-food fare, which includes two sandwiches and a salad.

One of the burgers has artichoke spread, Asiago cheese and lettuce -- all produced in Italy along with the ground beef and bread.
