Eponym Lorenzo Respighi

Respighi is a small lunar impact crater that is located to the southeast of Dubyago crater, near the eastern limb of the Moon. To the east is the comparably-sized Liouville crater.

This is a roughly circular crater with inner walls that slope down to the relatively darker (lower albedo) interior central floor. Attached to the southern rim of this crater is 'Dubyago B', a formation that has the appearance of two merged craters with a dark, lava-flooded floor that is elongated to the southeast.
