Italian city's event organised by Scotsman (8)
I believe the answer is:
venetian
'italian' is the definition.
(I know that Venetian is a type of italian)
'event organised by scotsman' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates an anagram.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'scotsman' becomes 'ian' (common Scottish name).
'event' is an anagram of 'venet'.
'venet'+'ian'='VENETIAN'
'city's' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for venetian that I've seen before include "One like Marco Polo" , "Like gondolas and blinds, say" , "Relating to La Serenissima" , "-- blind; -- red; -- window" , "Citizen of Italy's water city" .)
