Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Valposchiavo
Despite the persistent legend, Mozart never visited Poschiavo. The statue that shows the young musician with his violin stands in a niche in the façade of the Casa Consule, an elegant nineteenth-century “palazzo“ (town house). Today the Casa Consule harbours an impressive private collection of German Romantic paintings, drawings and sketches collected by the German connaisseur and publisher Ernesto Conrad (1927-2011) who settled here.
