'with domes as indicated' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'around italian river and city' is the wordplay.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'italian' becomes 'cued' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'river' becomes 'Po' (Italian river).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'city' becomes 'LA' (Los Angeles).
'po'+'la'='pola'
'cued' enclosing 'pola' is 'CUPOLAED'.
