Carl Mozart attended the centenary celebrations for his father, which took place in Salzburg from 6 to 9 September 1856, as the last surviving member of the family, his mother having died in 1842 and his younger brother Franz Xaver in 1844. Carl had lived in Italy since 1797, moving to Milan in 1805, where he initially studied music under Bonifazio Asioli, before abandoning his studies in 1810 to become an official in the service of the Viceroy of Naples in Milan. Like his brother, he died unmarried.
