Take one into the outskirts of Venice (6)
I believe the answer is:
thieve
'take' is the definition.
(thieving is a kind of taking)
'one into the outskirts of venice' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'outskirts of' suggests removing the centre.
'venice' with its middle taken out is 've'.
'i' going within 'the' is 'thie'.
'thie'+'ve'='THIEVE'
(Other definitions for thieve that I've seen before include "Misappropriate" , "Take illegally" , "Steal things" , "Knock off" , "Rob" .)
