'italian composer' is the definition.
'cherubini' can be an answer for 'composer' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'italian' bit.

'a revolutionary massage in india' is the wordplay.
'a revolutionary' becomes 'che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'massage' becomes 'rub' (rub can mean to massage).
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'che'+'rub'+'in'+'i'='CHERUBINI'

'has' is the link.

(Other definitions for cherubini that I've seen before include "composer" , "author of church music" .)
