Conservatory of Bari


The Niccolò Piccinni Conservatory was founded by the violinist and music critic Giovanni Capaldi in 1925, with headquarters in Villa Bucciero, Bari, Italy. It was the fourteenth music school to arise in Italy. First created as a music-education high school, in 1937 it was converted into a conservatory, and was named in honor of eighteenth-century Italian composer Niccolò Piccinni.
