Where it's broken, it will break again unless you put metal band or some type of ferrule to enforce. That will change the look of the pipe.

I used to watch this show in high school on HBO. I completely forgot about it until you posted this.?
My family watched this religiously on the local PBS station. My mom's favorite parts were handyman's corner and the man's prayer. "I'm a man, but I can change. If I have to...I guess."
Glue then fishing line or leader filament over all of the break. Won't be elegant, but quite smokable.
The pipe can be repaired, either by gluing the pieces together and putting a band around the outisde to keep it from coming apart, or at a more expert level, drilling out the shank, inserting a metal tube, and gluing the pieces together around the tube. The latter fix leaves no trace, but there are only a couple of restorers with the chops to make that fix.
On an inexpensive pipe the cost can be greater than the market value of the pipe. But if the pipe has sentimental value the cost may be worth it.
Contact DadsPipes - https://dadspipes.com/ and he will give you an estimate. He's to the west of Toronto and does a great job at this kind of repair work.
I'd get an estimate and then decide. Removing the stem after a repair could be a little tense. It looks like it took a pretty good shot to split in half like that. Also, I'd look for a reasonable match Savinelli and price it for comparison.
I banded my own meerschaum that was cracked, before it broke all the way. It looks great, but it was a chore to do without the proper tools, and I had to order 3 different bands to find the exact band, and at that, I had to sand off the last but for a flush fit. f you love the pipe and like to tinker, it's not out of reach. I'd do it again for one I loved. If I didn't really love it, it's not worth the effort. In my case, the self-repair gave me a new level of ownership, and it's my all-time favorite pipe.
Yup, the hose clamp is cheap, readily available and works most every time. Been there done that!
Sediment? Is that a spell check glitch?
The Red Green Show was a hilarious Canadian TV comedy. I am a proud, card carrying Possum Club member. Amazon probably has it available if you have a desire to watch. It'll be time well wasted.

He said: "I'd do it again for one I loved". Since we all love you, Cigar Ash Queen, you should take him up on it!
Red Green is a silly show that's has the intelligence to look stupid if that makes sense. The Red Green Show - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Green_Show
I was also under the impression that Canadians where legally required to watch it at least three times. (I guess someone lied to me about that)
Gorilla glue... probably not a long term fix, but will give you some time to shop for another Savinelli 
Charles Lemon is the fellow at DadsPipes who did a shank repair for me. He didn't band it. He did an internal shank repair for my Peterson Poker. The pipe looks perfect now.

An Internal Shank Repair for a Peterson Aran 50S Rustic Poker
This pipe was sent to me for repairs recently. At first glance the Peterson Aran 50S Rustic Poker on my worktable looked to be in pretty good shape – the stem had a few tooth dents, but was not oxi…

Yes it can be repaired and if I were to do it I would level the shank end coming off the bowl
I will try this again. Yes it can be repaired. I would level the shank coming off the bowl. Then I would turn a piece of brier wood to form a tenion to go in the shank and fit the bit tension on the other end. The new brier can then be stained. I have done many of these. It is more work than a silver band, but your break would require a really large one.
You'll want spread the glue or lacquer over the thread. An old way to fix snapped fishing rods, and lash eyelets onto fishing rods. Actually quite durable. I've used this method myself with excellent results.
