Scribe confused by a city in Lombardy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brescia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in lombardy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'scribe confused by a city' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'scribe' is 'bresci' which is located in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brescia that I've seen before include "Lombardy city; ascribe (anag.)" , "somewhere in Italy" , "somewhere in Lombardy" , "Ascribe (anag) - Italian city" .)
