Panoramic Rome’s historic housing something very fine (9)

I believe the answer is:

micromesh

'something very fine' is the definition.

'panoramic rome's historic housing' is the wordplay.
'housing' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (part of the clue houses the answer).
'MICROMESH' can be found hidden inside 'panoramic romes historic'.

(Another definition for micromesh that I've seen is " fine material".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
