Paganini's birthplace
I believe the answer is:
genoa
'paganini's birthplace' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for genoa that I've seen before include "City of Italy" , "Italian city has no age, oddly" , "Seaport in northwestern Italy" , "North Italian port" , "Cake type; foresail" .)
