Recklessly drive Maestro from Italy? (5)

I believe the answer is:

verdi

'maestro from italy?' is the definition.
(Giuseppe Verdi, Italian composer)

'recklessly drive' is the wordplay.
'recklessly' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'drive' anagrammed gives 'VERDI'.

(Other definitions for verdi that I've seen before include "Opera producer" , "Emblem of the Knights Hospitallers" , "Drive around with great opera composer" , "Drive around to locate opera composer" , "Diver became a strange composer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
