Conservatorio Giuseppe Martucci, Music conservatory palace in Salerno, Italy.

The Conservatorio Giuseppe Martucci occupies a rectangular four-storey palace in Salerno's historic centre, part of the Umberto I complex. Its walls are of mixed tuff masonry, plastered and painted, with pilaster orders and stucco cornices outside; inside are barrel, sail, cross and pavilion vaults and two main two-ramp staircases. A small central clock tower rises as a fifth level to about 25 metres.

The institution was named after Giuseppe Martucci, an Italian composer who shaped classical music during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Its founding reflected the growth of formal music education in southern Italy during that period.

The music school began in 1819 at the San Ferdinando hospice, where orphans were taught tailoring, shoemaking, carpentry and above all music; Gabriele da Forio d'Ischia was its first teacher and director until 1855. The institute took the name of Giuseppe Martucci, and in 1980 it became an autonomous state conservatory. Today it is the only university-level institution within Salerno's municipal boundaries, with more than 1,200 students since 2013.

The conservatory is accessible on teaching days, with visitors able to explore the spaces and attend occasional free or low-cost concerts. It is best to check ahead since hours and events vary according to the academic calendar.

The building began as a Benedictine monastery founded in the 11th century; a small part predates it, having belonged to the adjacent convent of San Lorenzo founded by Gisulfo I in 963. A small central clock tower rises as a fifth level, bringing the palace to about 25 metres.
