Almost deprived of snooze in Italian city (6)
I believe the answer is:
naples
'italian city' is the definition.
(city in Italy)
'almost deprived of snooze' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'snooze' could be 'nap' (synonyms) and 'nap' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'les' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for naples that I've seen before include "Planes go awry in Italian port" , "See it and die, they say" , "Port near to Vesuvius" , "Italian port blockaded by Nelson" , "Italian city of the planes" .)
