Port of New Orleans (7)

I believe the answer is:

salerno

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

'new orleans' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'orleans' is an anagram of 'SALERNO'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for salerno that I've seen before include "Orleans (anag) - Italian port" , "City of Campania" , "in Italy!" , "Battle" , "South Italian port" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times.
