Enigmatist too enigmatic for me today. Can anyone help?

In each of these four I see the definition, but not the wordplay.

11) Italian kid, a fifty-something on a vespa! I have BAMBINO

24) I'll give wry renditions no end (7) I have IRONIST

26) Canary with the cuckoo flower (5,8) I have WATER HYACINTH

22) Closes in on prey, after antelope (5) I have NYALA

These two I just don't get:

23) College beak looking over hopeful's entry form (5) I have BENCH

25) A bewitching old woman keeps back ingredient (7) I have AMALGAM

Thanks Elliemay x

I saw Bambino as Bambi plus no as the diminutive as vespa is a small bike... Bambis are usually associated with bigger bikes
