Letter to a girl in Italian (5)
I believe the answer is:
roman
'italian' is the definition.
(Roman is an example)
'letter to a girl' is the wordplay.
'letter' becomes 'n'.
'to a' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'girl' becomes 'roma' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'n' put after 'roma' is 'ROMAN'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roman that I've seen before include "Like the English alphabet" , "Audrey Hepburn film (time off in Italy)" , "eg Brutus" , "Dominant political power of first centuries AD" , "Plain upright type" .)
