agitato

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

'excited italian' is the definition.
'agitato' can be an answer for 'excited' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'italian' bit.

'a go at it wrongly' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' is an anagram indicator.
'go'+'at'+'it'='goatit'
'goatit' is an anagram of 'gitato'.
'a'+'gitato'='AGITATO'

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agitato that I've seen before include "in troubled way" , "stirring music" , "frenetically scored" , "Musical indication; a go at it (anagram)" , "In restless musical style" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
