It's the same... Lentamente is an adverb and Piano is an adjective, but you can use Lentamente only with the meaning of slowly, and Piano also with the meaning of quietly...=)
I'm sorry for my bad english XD i'm italian. =)

ciao a tutti,
"Slowly" can be literally translated as "lentamente" ot "piano" depending on the contest of the sentence.
Marina is correct:
"Piano" can also be translated as "quietly" or "softly".
I hope this helps.
Buon divertimento with Rocket Italian !!!
ciao
