So was this modified *after* the complaint email:

If so, that was quick ;)
  It's probably better known as Padua, just as Genua
and Mantua.
 None of these names is used in Italian - only Padova, Genova
 and Mantova.
     
But "Padua, Italy" *is* the first result you get in google if you
type
in "Padova" (after an ad for "hotels in Padova" of course). I wonder
if
although using google in English it changes results based on the
location anyway...
Although I'm not a football fan I think the Genova team is actually
called Genoa.
   Given the
international context of conferences, I encourage announcement
 writers to include the country when posting a CfP.  ;)
       
 "Conservatorio", "Cesare" and "Pollini" are
all very Italian...
 But of course I'm biased !
     
 Yea, "Conservatorio" especially, but I'm biased too.
