Capital of Emilia-Romagna (7)
I believe the answer is:
bologna
'capital of emilia-romagna' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for bologna that I've seen before include "Italian province" , "Italian city - smoked sausage" , "Capital of Emilia-Romagna" , "North Italian university city" .)
