Reform apt in a lone Italian citizen (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neapolitan

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

'reform apt in a lone' is the wordplay.
'reform' is an anagram indicator (letters in a new form).
'apt'+'in'+'a'+'lone'='aptinalone'
'aptinalone' is an anagram of 'NEAPOLITAN'.

(Other definitions for neapolitan that I've seen before include "Italian citizen" , "Italian native" , "From Naples" , "21 [ITALIAN]" , "One coming from Campania" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
