A key member of the "Generazione dell'Ottanta," Respighi was part of a group of Italian musicians who revitalised the country's musical landscape. His compositions, though eclectic and influenced by various European styles, are most celebrated for his series of symphonic poems inspired by the eternal city of Rome. Among these, "I Pini di Roma" stands out as his most renowned and frequently recorded work.
