INFO:

Sicilian tarantella - Lavandarella and Dolce Gabbana models Tarantella is a group of various southern Italian folk dances originating in the regions of Calabria, Campania and Puglia. It is characterized by a fast upbeat tempo, accompanied by tambourines. Also known as “the dance of the spider,” the Tarantella is derived from the Italian word tarantola, meaning “tarantula.” The tarantola gets its name from the town of Taranto in Puglia, where the bite of the local wolf spider (the tarantula) was widely believed to be highly poisonous and led to a condition known as “tarantism.” #lavandarella #tarantella #siciliantarantella #italianfolk #italiansongs #italianmusic #musik #folkmusic #folklore #folkdance
