Scribe confused by a city in Lombardy (7)
I believe the answer is:
brescia
'in lombardy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'scribe confused by a city' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'scribe' is 'bresci' which is present in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brescia that I've seen before include "Lombardy city; ascribe (anag.)" , "somewhere in Italy" , "somewhere in Lombardy" , "Ascribe (anag) - Italian city" .)
