Dottore can be used by anyone graduating Italian university and "magistrale" Master level (usually 5 years study)

University degrees: Dottore – dott. (all people holding a laurea degree). The laurea was previously the only academic degree given by Italian Universities. With the Riforma Universitaria, the Italian system has moved closer to conformity with the rest of Europe and North America. Laurea may now refer to a three-year degree (the laurea triennale) or to a laurea magistrale, which requires two additional years of study. The former confers the title dottore; holders of the latter receive the academic title dottore magistrale. Outside of Italy, however, it is inappropriate for the holder of a new laurea to use the title "Doctor."

you have another option of leaving it in Italian as "Dottore Magistrale" (Equivalent Master's Degree)
OR put in brackets the amount of years studied (Five years study)
However, I believe Master's Degree is considered equivalent

Neptunia
: In an American environment, "graduate degree" would be appropriate too. I like Lara's solution that explains/defines rather than converts to a foreign academic honor that the holder certainly doesn't actually have.
