Country house Liberals displayed in the Italian way (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

villa

'country house' is the definition.
(I know that villa is a type of villa)

'liberals displayed in the italian way' is the wordplay.
'liberals' becomes 'll' (a political abbreviation for liberal written twice).
'displayed in' is an insertion indicator.
'the italian way' becomes 'via' (I've seen this in another clue).
'll' placed within 'via' is 'VILLA'.

(Other definitions for villa that I've seen before include "where 6 [VERDI] lived?" , "Country house (in Aston?)" , "Country residence" , "A place in the country" , "Roman domicile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
