Haven't had rime to look at No. 1158 yet, but was wondering about 14 Ac:- "Italian city hospital with capital - three-quarters going west". (3,4) (S-N -E-O)
It seems that I'm looking for an Italian city but I
can't think of one to fit, and if it should be "SAN" for
the hospital bit, this prefix would normally apply to Spanish cities.

San Remo.
Rome appears to be the capital/
Both cities in Italy.

I had SAN REMO San (hospital) and Italy Capital ROME (OME reversed) San Remo is NW Italian city/town

SAN REMO? san = hospital. going west (anag ind) of "Rome = capital

:) snap, snap, snap

Siousie's 3/4 "going West" is the better parse.

Thanks, one and all - I should have remembered
San Remo, famous for a song festival, I believe! (I don't
know if it's still held here). I couldn't see San Remo in a
list of Italian cities I looked at, so I guess that it must have a comparatively small population.
