Crossword Genius

Wander Italian city, say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roam

'wander' is the definition.
(I know that wander can be written as roam)

'italian city say' is the wordplay.
'italian city' becomes 'Rome' (city in Italy).
'say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'rome' sounds like 'ROAM'.

(Other definitions for roam that I've seen before include "Meander" , "Prowl" , "Wander about aimlessly" , "Rove or ramble" , "Travel widely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
