Mozart's stays: 17.-18.8.1771 / 8. - 9.12.1771 / 30. - 31.10.1772 / 1.11.1772 / About 8. - 10.3.1773

Ala was originally a small trading town and postal station on the road from Rovereto to Verona, home of the art patrons Giovanni and Pietro Pizzini.

On 17 August 1771, W.A. Mozart and his father enjoyed the charm of Palazzo Pizzini for the first time. For the rest of the day, the Mozarts played music for the two brothers. The next day they left for the south, but from then on they visited the brothers every time they passed through Ala.
