Toledo evacuated around late 14th century (8)
I believe the answer is:
trecento
'14th century' is the definition.
(Italian cultural period)
'toledo evacuated around late' is the wordplay.
'evacuated' suggests removing the centre.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'late' becomes 'recent' ('recent' can be similar in meaning to 'late'**).
'toledo' with its centre taken out is 'to'.
'to' enclosing 'recent' is 'TRECENTO'.
(Other definitions for trecento that I've seen before include "Fourteenth century as a period of Italian art; not erect (anag.)" , "The time for art in Italy" , "artistic period" , "C fourteen, in Italian art" .)
