See reduced view when touring Italy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

visit

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

'see' is the definition.
(I know that see can be written as visit)

'reduced view when touring italy' is the wordplay.
'reduced' says to take the initial letters (the word is reduced to its first letter).
'when touring italy' becomes 'isit' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The first letter of 'view' is 'v'.
'v'+'isit'='VISIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for visit that I've seen before include "Call on - go to see" , "Call on (someone)" , "Go to see a place or person" , "See; temporary stay" , "Pay social call" .)
