Typical tarantella from my Village of origin (Apulia, South Italy)
Origins of tarantella:
Its ancient origins derive from the strong Greek influence that Southern Italy underwent in the archaic age and which led to a period of great splendor and civilization. The coasts of Magna Graecia soon became the beating heart of the Dionysian rites (characterised by inebriation, exaltation and fury), and the theoretical development that followed was great. In fact, the Pythagoreans considered these places "an elective homeland", where they could conduct the study of harmony and experience "catharsis" (liberation of the soul) through singing, dancing and the study of music.
