Tailor played bridge in Italy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rialto

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

'bridge in italy' is the definition.
'rialto' can be an answer for 'bridge' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'in italy' bit.

'tailor played' is the wordplay.
'played' is an anagram indicator (letters playing around).
'tailor' anagrammed gives 'RIALTO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rialto that I've seen before include "Dublin district, or Shakespeare's 'What news on the . . . . . .?'" , "Old market" , "Venetian district" , "Region in Venice and Dublin" , "Bridge in Venice and Dublin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
