What people say

Chelsea Papa
"A beautiful baroque town that feels like a sleepier version of Lecce. Visit the Basilica di Santa Caterina and Pasticceria Andrea Ascalone for pasticciotto. If it's open, visit the Casa Museo del Tarantismo, a tiny museum dedicated to the rites of Tarantismo and the pizzica, the wild dance accompanied by tambourine that supposedly purged you of snake poison. Nearby is the Chiesa of San Paolo where the tarantolati went to drink the holy water."
