A place in Italy for the locals - it is around Calabrian capital with a fragrant disposition (8)
I believe the answer is:
aromatic
'a place in italy for the locals' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'it is around calabrian capital with a fragrant disposition' is the wordplay.
'is around' is a reversal indicator.
'capital' suggests taking the first letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a fragrant disposition' becomes 'aroma' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The first letter of 'calabrian' is 'c'.
'it' reversed gives 'ti'.
'ti'+'c'='tic'
'tic' put after 'aroma' is 'AROMATIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aromatic that I've seen before include "Actor am I with nice smell" , "Pleasant smelling" , "with a nice bouquet" , "Having fragrance (of herb)" , "with fragrant quality" .)
