Traditional pizzica is danced embracing a partner. Note that the hug must not necessarily involve two individuals of the opposite sex; often enough, two women can be seen dancing together, while nowadays it is more and more rare to observe two men dance an entire pizzica. However, an example of a pizzica dance between two men is found to this day in the Ostunese tradition (town of Ostuni), where one of the two men who dance jokingly acts as a woman for fun.

There are several traditional pizzica groups, the oldest being: Uccio Aloisi gruppu, Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, I Tamburellisti di Torrepaduli.

Since 10 years ago there has been a summer Notte della Taranta (night of taranta), consisting of a whole night where many famous musicians alternate their performances with pizzica orchestras. Some of them include: Stewart Copeland, Franco Battiato, Gianna Nannini, Raiz, Lucio Dalla, and Carmen Consoli.
The music used against spider bites featured drums and clarinets, was matched to the pace of the victim, and is only weakly connected to its later depiction in the tarantellas of Chopin, Liszt, Rossini, and Heller.[3]

While most serious proponents speculated as to the direct physical benefits of the dancing rather than the power of the music a mid-18th century medical textbook gets the prevailing story backwards describing that tarantulas will be compelled to dance by violin music[4]. It was thought that the Lycosa tarantula wolf spider had lent the name "tarantula" to an unrelated family of spiders having been the species associated with Taranto but since the lycosa tarantula is not inherently deadly in summer or in winter[4], the highly poisonous Mediterranean black widow (Latrodectus tredecimguttatus) may have been the species originally associated with Taranto's manual grain harvest

@shiHanny v no solo del salento!

[webradioArbereshe]

Nel Salento di molti anni fa la popolazione era per lo più contadina e viveva a stretto contatto con la terra e gli animali, tra cui i ragni, la tarantola. Durante il raccolto capitava di sentirsi improvvisamente male e svenire.

cominciate a leggere dal basso grazie.

Che questo poteva avvenire aiutato da qualche "pizzica" o bevanda, a noi non è dato da sapere. Di certo si sa che successivamente tali misteri furono coperti dalle varie regole imposte dalla storia, per cui la musica si legò a quella che dopo si chiamò nevrastenia per cui la pizzica fu considerata l'unica medicina contro il morso delle tarante.

[webradioArbereshe]

È acclarato da tutte le fonti storiche che il ballo e la musica della taranta siano legati in antichità al culto di Dioniso, allora assai presente in terra salentina. Durante lo svolgimento della festività le popolazioni si potevano addentrare nei misteri dionisiaci. La sfrenatezza dei comportamenti, la licenziosità dei rapporti che pubblicamente avvenivano rinsaldavano i legami tra le genti.
