Italian city that is home to the oldest university in the Western world (7)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for bologna that I've seen before include "Italian province" , "Capital of Emilia-Romagna" , "Italian city - smoked sausage" , "North Italian university city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
