Where, in Italy, it's nice to get a bit of love (6)

I believe the answer is:

venice

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

'where in italy' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition. I also know that 'italy' relates to this answer.

'nice to get a bit of love' is the wordplay.
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'a bit of love' becomes 've' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'nice' put after 've' is 'VENICE'.

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
