Italian letters to read (6)
I believe the answer is:
tuscan
'italian' is the definition.
(someone from Tuscany in Italy)
'letters to read' is the wordplay.
'letters' becomes 'tu' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to read' becomes 'scan' (scanning is a kind of reading).
'tu'+'scan'='TUSCAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tuscan that I've seen before include "From a central Italian region" , "European" , "Person from Siena" , "Classical architecture" , "Standard Italian" .)
