City the Italian gent is touring (5)
I believe the answer is:
milan
'city' is the definition.
(Milan is an example)
'the italian gent is touring' is the wordplay.
'the italian' becomes 'il' (Italian for 'the').
'gent' becomes 'man' ().
'is touring' indicates putting letters inside (touring can mean going round).
'il' placed inside 'man' is 'MILAN'.
(Other definitions for milan that I've seen before include "North Italian city" , "province" , "Northern Italian city" , "Capital of Lombardy" , "town" .)
