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

'a vision to die for?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'layman apolitically embraces' is the wordplay.
'embraces' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'embracing' mean this (the solution is embraced by words in the clue)).
'NAPOLI' is hidden in the letters of 'layman apolitically'.

Can you help me to learn more?
