Main purpose of the Association, founded in Salzburg in Rokokotheater © Stadtinfo Schwetzingen © Stadtinfo Rokokotheater 2002, is fostering new approaches to the communication 9 10 of knowledge about W. A. Mozart. This is pursued firstly through the development and promotion of tourist itineraries based on the historical travels, and more broadly thanks to multiple artistic, cultural, pedagogical and academic activities of the Mem- bers of the network, shedding always new light on the biography and œuvre of W. A. Mozart.

Within the Cultural Routes Programme by the Council of Europe, the Mozart itineraries are the only “Major Cultural Route” focused on the life and work of a musician. André printing house © Haus d.
