Touring Italy, fast Frenchman's in good health (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prosit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'good health' is the definition.
(German toast for drinking someone's health)

'touring italy fast frenchman's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'italy' could be 'it' and 'it' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'pros' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prosit that I've seen before include "(German for) cheers!" , "Drinking call, good health to you" , "Good luck to you" , "Drinking salutation" , "Bottoms up (in Germany)" .)
