The “Alfredo Majorano” Ethnographic Museum is located in the historic center of Taranto in Palazzo Pantaleo. The Museum was founded in 2003 with the aim of collecting and enhancing the various testimonies of the popular and traditional culture of Taranto. The first nucleus was constituted by the scholar Alfredo Majorano, to whom the museum is dedicated, and by his wife Elena Spinelli. The leitmotif of the conspicuous ethnographic collection revolves around the magical and religious rituality in the Taranto area. The abundance of materials that constitute it document traditional life in Tarantino: from the world of festivities and magical-religious rituals it extends to document all the other ways of local associated life, first of all, the secular ones of fatigue, on land and on the sea. The museum collection consists of important documents of the intangible cultural heritage, such as the recordings of the pizzica and other testimonies of the popular culture of Taranto.
