dilettante

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dabbler' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'translated title accepted by italian author' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates an anagram.
'accepted by' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are accepted).
'italian author' becomes 'dante' (Dante is an example. I am not sure about the 'italian' bit.).
'title' with letters rearranged gives 'ilett'.
'ilett' placed inside 'dante' is 'DILETTANTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dilettante that I've seen before include "Superficial art lover" , "Amateurish" , "One dabbling" , "One with superficial knowledge" , "Amateur art lover" .)
