I believe the answer is:
respighi
(Other definitions for respighi that I've seen before include "Italian composer of symphonic poems, d. 1936 - hire pigs (anag)" , "Irish peg, oddly, for the Italian composer" , "Italian composer (The Pines of Rome)" , "Ottorino -, Ital. composer (The Pines of Rome)" , "he scored!" .)
