Resort having edge in Italy originally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rimini

'resort' is the definition.
(I know that Rimini is a resort)

'edge in italy originally' is the wordplay.
'edge' becomes 'rim' (rim is a kind of edge).
'originally' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'italy' is 'i'.
'rim'+'in'+'i'='RIMINI'

'having' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rimini that I've seen before include "Italian holiday resort" , "Italian city on the Adriatic coast" , "Italian coastal city" , "Francesca's place" , "Italian Adriatic port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
