padrone

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

'italian boss' is the definition.
'padrone' can be an answer for 'boss' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'italian' bit.

'accommodation given to king and one' is the wordplay.
'accommodation' becomes 'pad' (pad can mean someone's home).
'given to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'king' becomes 'R' (abbreviation for rex, king in Latin).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pad'+'r'+'one'='PADRONE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for padrone that I've seen before include "Mafia boss" , "who keeps a restaurant?" , "Italian innkeeper" .)
