I believe the answer is:

venice

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

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

'wrong toimprison bridge opponents' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'opponents' could be 'en' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'en' is found in the answer.
'wrong' could be 'vice' (I've seen this before) and 'vice' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for venice that I've seen before include "Secret scheme or conspiracy" , "Italian source" , "Italian city once known as Queen of the Adriatic" , "It used to be known as the Queen of the Adriatic" , "North Italian port" .)
