Wife of Perseus & Italian city lawyer (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

andromeda

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

'wife of perseus' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'italian city lawyer' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'city' could be 'rome' (Rome is an example) and 'rome' is found in the answer.
'lawyer' could be 'da' (district attorney) and 'da' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'and' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for andromeda that I've seen before include "Damsel in distress" , "star group" , "Once on the rocks" , "Ethiopian princess" , "group of stars" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
