SALZBURG, AUSTRIA
IMAGE NUMBER 1042
W. A. Mozart was born in 1756 in the “Hagenauer Haus” at No. 9 Getreidegasse in Salzburg. Today, Mozart’s Birthplace is one of the most visited museums in Austria. His family lived here for 26 years, from 1747 onward, occupying an apartment on the third floor. With parents Leopold and Anna Maria as well as sister “Nannerl”, Mozart spent his childhood and much of his youth here. In 1773, the family moved to the house known today as the “Mozart Residence”, on Makartplatz Square.
On a summer’s day in July 2019 Atticus watched the world go by for an hour while he waited to get a clear shot without tourists. The opportunity came in a split second yet for ever more it looks like the street was empty.
