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

'where some italian bankers deposit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'aaa credit is reviewed' is the wordplay.
'reviewed' indicates anagramming the letters (letters reviewed or revised).
'aaa'+'credit'+'is'='aaacreditis'
'aaacreditis' is an anagram of 'ADRIATIC SEA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adriatic sea that I've seen before include "Quantity of liquid" , "Water between the Balkans and Italy" , "Greek resort area" , "It lies between Italy and the Balkans" , "It lies between Italy and the Balkan peninsula" .)
