Galatina — Basilica di Santa Caterina & Tarantismo
Puglia
Galatina's Basilica di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria holds one of the most extensive Gothic fresco cycles in southern Italy, and the town was historically the centre of tarantismo, a folk belief that music and frenzied tarantella dancing could cure the effects of a poisonous spider bite. Flat streets link the sights through the old quarter.
