'bits of information' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'on european country written by local' is the wordplay.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'european country' becomes 'Italia' (Italia is an example).
'written by local' becomes 'gen' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'italia' put after 'gen' is 'GENITALIA'.
