Italian Tony turned French, say (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nationality

'french say' is the definition.
(french is a kind of nationality)

'italian tony turned' is the wordplay.
'turned' indicates an anagram.
'italian'+'tony'='italiantony'
'italiantony' anagrammed gives 'NATIONALITY'.

(Another definition for nationality that I've seen is " Such as 'British' or 'French'".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
