Italian beggars left Arizona oddly, touring Zaire’s capital (9)

'italian beggars' is the definition.
(Italian term for beggars)

'left arizona oddly touring zaire's capital' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'arizona' could be 'az' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'az' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
