Sets up TV station with top Umbrian lawyer - an old native of Italian region (8)
I believe the answer is:
etruscan
'region' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for etruscan that I've seen before include "from part of old Italy" , "of an ancient civilization" , "Centaurs (anag) - from an ancient Italian country" , "Old Italian language" , "Pre-Roman Italian" .)
