North Italian region (8)

I believe the answer is:

lombardy

(Other definitions for lombardy that I've seen before include "somewhere in Italy" , "Region of north Italy bordering Switzerland" , "Great Italian plain between Alps and Po" , "Italian region between Alps and the river Po" , "Italian region, capital Milan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
