...and your grammar was still better than the one of most natives, graduated included.

The sentence construction was perfect, it's just that "sarei" goes for the first person singular, "sarebbe" is a third person singular.

And "Se io sapessi" refers to a present/current condition, while "Se lo avessi saputo" refers to a past condition, is qute literally a "If I had known that...".

Many people here would get the entire sentence construction wrong with bigger errors in the verb tenses - which are a PITA in Italian with respect to English. That, the fact that each word has an implicit gender which calls for different articles, and the fact that each verb has a different suffix for each of the 6 possible subjects (I, You singular, He/She/It, We, You plural, Them).
