Ottorino Respighi (1879–1936) Italian composer, musicologist & conductor. He is best known for his orchestral music, particularly the three Roman tone poems: Fountains of Rome (Fontane di Roma), Pines of Rome (I pini di Roma), & Roman Festivals (Feste romane). His musicological interest in 16th-, 17th- & 18th-century music led him to compose pieces based on the music of these periods. He also wrote a number of operas, the most famous of which is La fiamma, as well as piano music.
