Italian city in Milano revered after revolution? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

verona

'italian city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in milano revered after revolution?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'after revolution?' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (I've seen 'after revolution' mean this).
'anorev' is hidden in the letters of 'milano revered'.
'anorev' backwards is 'VERONA'.

(Other definitions for verona that I've seen before include "Romeo and Juliet's city" , "City of Romeo and Juliet near Averno" , "The Two Gentlemen of-(Shakespeare)" , "Romeo's city" , "Home town of Romeo and Juliet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
