Girl carrying on in Italian city (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

verona

'italian city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'girl carrying on' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'vera' (**).
'carrying' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'vera' enclosing 'on' is 'VERONA'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for verona that I've seen before include "The Two Gentlemen of ___ (Shakespeare)" , "Rave on in Italian city of Romeo and Juliet" , "Italian city, home of Romeo and Juliet" , "Italian city (with two gentlemen)" , "Rave on in town of Romeo and Juliet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
