Old Italian to pry into feature (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
roman nose
'feature' is the definition.
(I have seen 'outstanding feature' mean 'roman nose' so perhaps 'feature' could also mean 'roman nose')
'old italian to pry' is the wordplay.
'old italian' becomes 'roman' (I've seen this before).
'to pry' becomes 'nose' ('nose' can be a synonym of 'pry').
'roman'+'nose'='ROMAN NOSE'
'into' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for roman nose that I've seen before include "feature with bridge" , "personal feature" , "outstanding feature" , "prominent Italian feature" .)
