Columbus's birthplace (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genoa

'columbus's birthplace' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for genoa that I've seen before include "Italian city; sail" , "Italian city has no age, oddly" , "City of Italy" , "Type of rich fruit cake" , "Seaport in northwestern Italy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Penny Press.
