Old Italian manor refurbished (5)

I believe the answer is:

roman

'old italian' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'manor refurbished' is the wordplay.
'refurbished' is an anagram indicator.
'manor' with letters rearranged gives 'ROMAN'.

(Other definitions for roman that I've seen before include "Our alphabet; upright type" , "One like Julius Caesar" , "Native to Italian capital" , "Like a type" , "Locking device" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
