Italy may be celebrated for its cuisine around the world but it turns out that the world is "doing Italian food all wrong", according to a new international survey. Around 20,000 adults in 17 countries were asked their views on various cooking techniques or eating habits based on 19 ways in which foreigners have been accused of mistreating Italian food.

Italy was among the nations included in the survey, undertaken by the UK-based market research and data analytics firm YouGov, whose results were published on Thursday.
