The Niccolò Piccinni Conservatory ({{langx|it|Conservatorio Niccolò Piccinni}}) was founded by the violinist and music critic Giovanni Capaldi in 1925, with headquarters in Villa Bucciero, Bari, Italy.{{cite book|author=Dinko Fabris, Marco Renzi|title=La musica a Bari: dalle cantorie medievali al Conservatorio Piccinni|publisher=Levante, 1993}} It was the fourteenth music school to arise in Italy. First created as a music education high school ("Liceo Musicale"), in 1937 it was converted into a conservatory, and was named in honor of eighteenth-century Italian composer Niccolò Piccinni.
