Some Italian men upset Italian city, putting out Italian article (5)
I believe the answer is:
roman
'some italian' is the definition.
(Roman is an example)
'men upset italian city putting out italian article' is the wordplay.
'men' becomes 'or' (I've seen this in other clues).
'upset' says the letters should be written backwards.
'italian city' becomes 'milan' (I've seen this before).
'putting out' suggests deleting specific letters.
'italian article' becomes 'il'.
'or' backwards is 'ro'.
'milan' with 'il' taken out is 'man'.
'ro'+'man'='ROMAN'
(Other definitions for roman that I've seen before include "Citizen of Italian capital" , "eg Brutus" , "(Of a nose) high-bridged" , "From Italy's capital" , "- Empire; - nose" .)
