Abstract

This paper presents in a geographical key three possible readings of the life and work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The first is focused on the odeporic impulse that runs through his life and therefore on spatial trajectories of his many travels to Europe; the second is focused on the connection between Mozart and places considered as fields of action and contexts of activation-cessation of relationships; the third investigates the construction of world images (identity, racial and gender stereotypes, etc.) inside his works in a cultural perspective.
