Abstract

Considered the "traditional" dance of the whole southern Italy, this entry clarifies what the tarantella really is and how it works in Italian folklore. The tarantella, though, has historical traces that date back at least to the 17th century and such evidences are clearly shown and discussed. The text follows how the "myth" of the tarantella has penetrated into films and songs to become a "marker" of ethnicity.
