Rome's country (5)

I believe the answer is:

italy

'rome's country' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for italy that I've seen before include "Problematical (informal)" , "where Juventus normally play" , "Land of Tuscany and Umbria" , "Southern European country" , "Original member of the European Economic Community" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Newsday.com, The Star Tribune, the Evening Standard and the Family Time.
