Tour of Lecce with Aperitif
Ever wondered who’s been caught in the dance of the tarantella? It’s a question that echoes through the vibrant streets of Salento, where the bite of the taranta spider gave rise to a unique cultural phenomenon known as tarantism.
In the heart of Salento, locals believed that those bitten by the taranta spider were afflicted with a hysterical condition, requiring a musical-therapeutic ritual to soothe their souls. Journey with us as we delve into this rich folklore, where the right blend of vibrations and melodies was believed to hold the key to healing. Step into the chapel of Saint Paul, where the tarantati sought solace in the well water, seeking relief from their affliction.
But our adventure doesn’t end there. We’ll immerse ourselves in the spirited rhythms and melodies of Salento’s folk traditions, dancing through the cobblestone streets to the beat of popular sounds that resonate with the soul of the region.
And as the sun sets on our musical journey, we’ll discover the authentic charm of Copertino, known as the hometown of Saint Joseph of Copertino, the patron saint of aviators. Join us as we uncover the secrets of this historic Borgo Autentico d’Italia, where centuries-old traditions blend seamlessly with modern-day life, creating a tapestry of cultural richness that will leave you enchanted.
