I don't like changing mouthpieces very often. For example the great Stanley Drucker still uses the same mouthpiece as he did when he was in school. So I'm not the only one who feels this way about mouthpieces.

You speak very good English. I hope one day I can be as good as you are once I learn Italian.

So change barrels. Drop down to a 65mm barrel and you should be OK.

Rico mouthpieces have too small of a bore. So the thing to do now would be to maybe find a better mouthpiece offering you more freedom with the sound quality and intonation. Also ease in articulation.

As for reeds this is a personal choice. Maybve try the Vandoren 56 models.

You may want to check out Guy Chadash barrels since they have the adjustable tuning. Then you can tune from 439 to about 443.
