Ballare, to dance. Italians love to dance. They dance at the drop of a hat. But one dance in particular has been a hit here in America, the Tarantella. There are many legends about the Tarantella. It began in the town of Taranto is southern Italy. In the 1500s there was an outbreak of Tarantula poisoning. Yes there are tarantula spiders in Taranto, Italy.
The legend I was told went like this: when you are bitten by the tarantula the poison could kill you. The only way to survive is for you to sweat the poison out. The way the locals chose to do that was to dance, dance, dance in a frenzied manner! That was how the Tarantella was born.
My parents used to travel the state of Minnesota performing the Tarantella and other Italian dances. My mother called out the steps (form the basket, rock back and forth, spin your partner) I was taught the dance at an early age too. I had the costume, the head covering, the steps and stamina to do the dance. I was so proud of my costume that I wore it in a parade.
Most Italian-Americans I know do some form of the Tarantella at wedding receptions. The most popular steps of the dance occur when the bride or groom is dancing in the center and all the dancers take turns twirling them around, swishing skirts and flirting, bumping rumps and all the other steps. It has become a ritual of welcoming the new married couple into their adult life.
Now it is rare to see a formal production of the Tarantella and other traditional Italian peasant dances. At the Festa Italiana MN celebration this year there were two groups dancing, one came from Canada and one was local. You could see the joy as they moved and the audience enjoyed it. I wish I could have danced with them. Thank you Festa Italiana MN (www.festaitalianamn.org) for keeping the Tarantella alive.

Balletto per S. A. R. Il Sig. Principe di Galles Composto dal Sig. Bartolo Ganasetti L'anno 1729 Posto in Carta Dame Antonio Evangelista Maestro di Ballo in Bologna (Ballet for His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Composed by Sig. Bartolo Ganasetti in the year 1729 [and] Put on Paper by me, Antonio Evangelista, Ballet Master in Bologna). Folio in Feuillet notation, with music, 1729. A Venetian by birth, Bartolomeo Ganasetti (also known as Bartolo or Bortolo Ganassetti or Ganascetti) was active in Central Italy in the 1740s and 1750s, staging ballets in operas by important composers of the day such as Johann Adolf Hasse and Christoph Willibald Gluck, and later working as an impresario. Antonio Evangelista, who recorded the ballet, worked as a ballet master at the Collegio dei Nobili of Bologna between 1727 and 1734 and, like Ganasetti, was also Venetian. The notation is in the Beauchamps-Feuillet system codified in France in the late seventeenth century and widely used throughout Europe, spreading to Northern Italy in the 1720s. Because the system was quite elaborate, choreographers may well have relied on colleagues for recording their compositions. Walter Toscanini Collection, Jerome Robbins Dance Division.
Folio in Feuillet notation, with music, of a ballet entitled The Amazon [ca. 1725]. This score, recorded in the Beauchamps-Feuillet system of notation, is one of the rarest items in the Cia Fornaroli Collection. Roughly contemporaneous with Antonio Evangelista's notation of Bartolo Ganasetti's balletto for the Prince of Wales and Gaetano Grossatesta's 1726 manuscript Balletti, it adds to our knowledge of the dances performed on the early eighteenth-century Italian stage. Walter Toscanini Collection, Jerome Robbins Dance Division.

Right: print after an engraving by Hippolyte Pauquet, based on a 1730 portrait by Nicolas Lancret, [Paris, 1862]. Jerome Robbins Dance Division. Born in Flanders, Camargo was a child prodigy, trained (like so many eighteenth-century dancers) by her father, a dancing master of Italian descent. She made her debut at the Paris Opra in 1726, and quickly established herself as a virtuoso. She collected lovers as well as accolades, shortening her skirts a few inches above the ankle to reveal the sparkling footwork and effortless cabrioles and entrechats that became her signature as a ballerina.
Engraving, [Paris?, 174-?]. Wearing a typical mid-eighteenth-century dance costume, Anne Auretti was one of the most widely traveled ballerinas of the eighteenth century. In the 1750s, with her husband, she appeared in Paris at the Opra Comique, as part of a mostly Italian company that also performed in London and Vienna. Jerome Robbins Dance Division.
Engraving, [Vienna?, ca. 1758]. The member of a powerful family of Parma intellectuals who had settled in Milan, Teresa Fogliazzi was a much-admired ballerina and one of many Italian dancers who spent long periods in Vienna. In 1754 she married her partner, the Florentine-born Gasparo Angiolini, who pioneered a major new form of ballet narrative and choreographed several of Gluck's "reform" operas, in which dance formed an integral part of the action. This print, probably made in Vienna toward the end of Fogliazzi's performing career, highlights the charm that had once attracted the roving eye of Casanova, whose advances she rejected to marry her husband. Gift of Walter Toscanini, Jerome Robbins Dance Division.
Engraving by Franois Basan after a painting by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, Paris, [ca. 1752]. La Guinguette, a pantomime-divertissement by the acclaimed choreographer Jean-Baptiste Franois De Hesse, exemplified the lighter fare performed at the Thtre Italien (also known as the Comdie Italienne) in Paris during the mid-eighteenth century. Staged in 1750, the piece was a village romp that combined storytelling, local color, and the popular subject matter associated with the "Italian players" who brought the traditions of the commedia dell'arte--the popular improvisational theater born in Italy during the Renaissance--to the French stage, while refining them to accommodate Gallic taste. Jerome Robbins Dance Division.
Engraving published by John Boydell, after an etching and aquatint by Francesco Bartolozzi, possibly after Nathaniel Dance, London, 1781. Choreographed by Gaetan Vestris after Jean-Georges Noverre's celebrated work, this "tragic ballet" featured Giovanna Baccelli (left) as Creusa, Vestris as Jason, and Adelaide Simonet as Medea. Tall and handsome, Vestris was the undisputed star of the mid-eighteenth-century Paris Opra and a brilliant exponent of the danse noble, although he began his career in Italy as a burlesque dancer. Born Gaetano Vestri in Florence, he belonged to the first generation of one of the most important dance dynasties of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the 1760s he often danced in Stuttgart, appearing in many ballets by Jean-Georges Noverre, including Mde et Jason. His son, Auguste, the offspring of a liaison with the ballerina Marie Allard, was an equally gifted dancer, a virtuoso unrivaled for the speed, daring, and elevation of his dancing. A celebrated teacher, Auguste trained many outstanding figures of the Romantic ballet, including August Bournonville, Jules Perrot, and Marie Taglioni. His son, Armand Vestris, also a dancer and choreographer, studied with his grandfather, Gaetan, but spent most of his professional life abroad. (See Armand Vestris in Macbeth and Marie Taglioni elsewhere in this exhibition.) Cia Fornaroli Collection, Jerome Robbins Dance Division.
Mezzotint engraving by John Jones after the painting by Thomas Gainsborough, London, 1784. Venetian-born and blessed with exceptional lightness and charm, Baccelli was a favorite with English audiences of the 1770s and 1780s, and the bewitching mistress of John Frederick Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset. This image, based on a portrait commissioned by him from one of Britain's most distinguished artists, shows the ballerina in her costume for Les Amants surpris (The Surprised Lovers), a highly successful ballet produced at the King's Theatre, London, during the 1781-1782 season directed by Jean-Georges Noverre. Frequently paired with Gaetan Vestris (as in Mde et Jason), Baccelli, who had made her London debut at the Haymarket Theatre in 1774, danced with success in France, Italy, and England. In addition to Gainsborough and Sir Joshua Reynolds, Baccelli was immortalized by the Italian artist Giovan Battista Locatelli, who sculpted her in the nude. Jerome Robbins Dance Division.
