He was born in Bologna, the son of a mathematics professor at the University of Bologna. His nephew was Monsignor Carlo Respighi.[2] Respighi studied philosophy with Battaglini, who later became archbishop of Bologna.
He received the sacrament of confirmation in November 1850. He was educated in the Seminary of Bologna and the Pio Roman Seminary in Rome, earning doctorates in theology, civil and canon law in 1870. Ordained to the priesthood on the last day of March 1866 in Rome, he afterwards worked in the Archdiocese of Bologna as professor of Sacred Liturgy and Christian Archology of its seminary from 1872 to June 1874.[3] He was appointed as Archpriest of Santi Gervasio e Protasio parish until 1891.
