Il ritorno di Dioniso. Musica e archetipi affettivi. Pensieri intorno al Festival della Taranta

Abstract

My paper deals with music and its link with the feelings it has the power to evoke. It is also about being together so as to share an experience with a strong emotional value, just as it happened – through dancing and the rhythm of drums – in the Dionysian festivals, which were not reserved only for the initiates, rather they involved the whole community thus strengthening solidarity.
