I believe the answer is:

verona

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

'young' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for verona that I've seen before include "Location of Shakespeare's two gentlemen" , "City of NE Italy" , "Whence Shakespeare's two gentlemen" , "Juliet's hometown" , "City of Romeo and Juliet near Averno" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
