British rein in unruly Neapolitan master (7)

I believe the answer is:

bernini

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'neapolitan master' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'british rein in unruly' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC).
'unruly' indicates an anagram.
'rein'+'in'='reinin'
'reinin' with letters rearranged gives 'ernini'.
'b'+'ernini'='BERNINI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bernini that I've seen before include "Italian sculptor who worked in Rome" , "Giovanni -, seventeenth century Italian artist; bin Reni (anag.)" , "Italian sculptor of several landmarks of Rome" , "Italian baroque architect" , "Italian artist and sculptor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
