Three good conservatories in Italy are

1) Santa Cecilia - Rome

2) Gioacchino Rossini - Pesaro

3) Giuseppe Verdi - Milan

 Dear TR:
 I personally recommend you the Conservatorio Statale Antonio Vivaldi, in Alessandria. There are several pianoforte teachers, but look for two of them: Giorgio Vercillo and Angela Colombo. Both are great pianists and teachers as well.
 The link to the homepage is https://www.conservatoriovivaldi.it.
 Well, maybe you know there, but Alessandria is a very nice town in the heart of Piemonte. By train, one hour to Torino, Milano or Genova. The conservatory itself have a good musical life, with a lot of recitals, lectures, exams.
 Best wishes! And if you get there, send me a postcard.   8)
Player of what?
