Where the Italians have no age difference? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genoa

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

'where the italians' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'no age difference?' is the wordplay.
'difference?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'difference' mean this).
'no'+'age'='noage'
'noage' is an anagram of 'GENOA'.

'have' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for genoa that I've seen before include "Italian city; sail" , "Seaport in northwestern Italy" , "Cake type; foresail" , "North Italian port" , "City of Italy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
