Salieri&#x27;s confession itself was never anything more than a rumor. Following his delirium and suicide attempt, it was said that he confessed to a priest that he poisoned Mozart, but there is no such written note or testimony (I suppose there couldn&#x27;t be, since priests don&#x27;t reveal confessions). Again, we can&#x27;t prove with mathematical certainty that he didn&#x27;t confess, but given that he had many mutual friends with Mozart and that they defended him from these accusations throughout this period, we have no reason to believe such a thing.
