Respighi’s Soundtrack for Rome

Did you know that Rome has a soundtrack? It’s true! È vero!

In 1924, Italian composer Ottorino Respighi wrote the symphonic poem Pines of Rome to honour his adopted city and celebrate how our glorious Mediterranean pines are important to our culture.

Respighi was born in Bologna, Italy, but he had a deep love for The Eternal City. Along with Pines of Rome, he wrote Fontane di Roma (Fountains of Rome) and Feste Romane (Roman Festivals), which together form what is known by some as his “Roman Trilogy”.
