Country where some fifty Latinos retired (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

italy

'country' is the definition.
(Italy is an example)

'some fifty latinos retired' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'retired' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'ylati' can be found hidden inside 'fifty latinos'.
'ylati' backwards is 'ITALY'.

'where' is the link.

(Other definitions for italy that I've seen before include "Land for strange laity" , "South European country" , "Mediterranean country" , "Laity (anag.)" , "Southern European country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
