The Tarantella refers to different southern Italian couple folk dances characterized by an upbeat tempo, usually in 6/8 time, accompanied by tambourines. It is among the most recognized of traditional Italian music. The specific dance name varies with every region, tammuriata in Campania, pizzica in the Salento region.


The term tarantella originally referred to an exorcism ritual in Greece from around 2000 BC, connected to the gods Dionysus and Apollo, the Greek gods of wine and music. It continued on in southern Italy, an area then known as Magna Grecia greater Greece.
