Salvatora Marzo. Biografia di una guaritrice


Abstract


Salvatora Marzo is recognized by the community of Nardò as the only female member of the Nardò little orchestra, made up of musician-therapists. Through the percussion of the frame drum this group used to take care of the women suffering from tarantism. The anthropological, autobiographical and visual research is focusing on the entire life story of Salvatora, derived mainly from the memories of her daughter Teresa Errico, enriched with some intervention by the two sisters, Angela and Antonietta.
