Did Ms Coppola come from Bulgarian city? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sofia

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

'bulgarian city?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'did ms coppola come from' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'of' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'of' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sofia that I've seen before include "Bulgarian capital" , "seat of government" , "capital city" , "European city" , "Capital of Bulgaria" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
