Fontane di Roma (or Fountains of Rome in English) is a symphonic poem by Ottorino Respighi, Italian composer, conductor, and musicologist. Heartfelt works of Respighi suggest that he was a supporter of impressionist tradition, and indeed he was: this sentimental and sensitive man had never remained indifferent to the beauty of environment, and his visits to Brazil and Italy led to composing of two compositions – Brazilian Impressions and the one we're talking about accordingly.
