Ends period in Italy (7)

I believe the answer is:

termini

'ends' is the definition.
(terminus is a kind of end)

'period in italy' is the wordplay.
'period' becomes 'term' (term is a kind of period).
'italy' becomes 'i'.
'term'+'in'+'i'='TERMINI'

(Other definitions for termini that I've seen before include "Main railway stations" , "goals" , "Paddington, Waterloo, etc" , "End-points" , "Rail, bus stations" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
