I have found only one lead.  A paper by Silvestro Banchetti from the
University of Bologna entitled  «Alberto Mozzati nel decimo
anniversario della scomparsa», published in «I quaderni del corriere
dei ciechi», n. 37, 1993.  The title translates as: Alberto Mozzati on
the 10th anniversary of his passing, which would put his death in
1983.  http://www2.unibo.it/Annuari/Annu9495/files/c2p9sp8.htm

According to information on
http://www.comune.tn.it/piazza/appuntamenti/cscsc/eventi_01.html there
is a Mozzati piano contest held in Milan.  There is a piano academy in
a suburb of Milan named after him (they might be able to give you the
details you are seeking): ACCADEMIA PIANISTICA ALBERTO MOZZATI, 20050
Mezzago (MI) - P. MARTIRI DELLA LIBERTA' 4 tel: 0396067098

This suggests that he was associated with Milan, and at least died
there.

BTW, I was unable to respond to a comment you directed at me
previously.  I was abroad in December, with no Internet contact.

Excellent going, tehuti!  Long time, no hear.  I was looking for you a
while back, hoping to entice you to help me some more.  I have
reposted a few of my questions from last month. I'm hoping to get a
few more hits by giving the researchers more time.  Your lead is
strong and I will do everything I can think of to convert it into a
match.  I could sure use your wonderful skills if you have any time. 
If I can find anything using your lead, you will receive credit, that
I promise you.  So great to hear from you, tehuti!!  Hope your holiday
was refreshing!  bluestreak

bluestreak -

According to World Biography, he was born in 1917, but no information
as to location.

He was still performing as of 2000 - e.g. -

web.tiscali.it/no-redirect-tiscali/ rosatemusica/rosate2000.htm


The following book, in Italian, should have additional information -

La musica. Dizionario con biografie. Sotto la direzione di Guido Maria
Gatti. A cura di Alberto Basso.
voll. 2. Torino 1968-1971.

I did not post as an answer since this is so incomplete.
Let me know if you think it is adequate enough to receive credit.

thanks,
ragingacademic

Hello again bluestreak

I'm afraid there must be some misunderstanding involved in the
suggestion that Mozzati is still performing.
I was impressed by the reference tehuti found to an article written on
the tenth anniversary of Mozzati's death: "Alberto Mozzati nel decimo
anniversario della scomparsa".
This suggests he died in 1983 and fits in neatly with the information
I had found previously which shows him active up to about 1980 and
then nothing until things start to be named after him in the late
eighties, see:

Good luck with your quest!

The references to Mozzati in the URL given by ragingacademic are
biographical details of other performers:

CORRADO GRECO, si č diplomato diciannovenne nel 1981 ..... Si č in
seguito perfezionato con Alberto Mozzati
(Greco Corrado continued his training with Mozzati, after graduating
in 1981)

Carlo Balzaretti, pianista e compositore milanese, ha compiuto gli
studi musicali ed umanistici presso il Conservatorio della sua cittą
con Alberto Mozzati

(Carlo Balzaretti, pianist and composer from Milan... studied music...
at the Conservatory of his city, under Mozzati).

The researcher was obviously unable to understand what was written in
Italian.

Hello my friends!                                                     
         Finnally at last, I can speak to you!  For the last 10 days,
there was an unavoidable problem with my Visa card and I couldn't
communicate with you. So back to work.  Mozzati.  It looks like Tehuti
has found his approximate death year and ragingacademic has found his
birth yr.  I will try to write to one of the European addresses &
solve the problem.  I continue to hunt the library shelves for classic
musicians books, of which there are many.  I'm always surprised when
well-known people aren't in there somewhere.  So far, awarding credit
will be close.  Unless someone digs up something more.  bluestreak
