Land on the Adriatic (5)
I believe the answer is:
italy
'land on the adriatic' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for italy that I've seen before include "where Juventus normally play" , "Catholic country" , "Rome is its capital" , "Country of Bologna, Bari and Brescia" , "It was the core of the Roman Empire" .)
