In the Italian province of Taranto, Apulia, the bite of a locally common type of wolf spider, named tarantula after the region, was popularly believed to be highly venomous and to lead to a hysterical condition known as tarantism. In this theme, the listener can imagine that someone has been bitten by a Tarantula and that person must dance very vigorously to cure the bite. At one point (8 measures before Rehearsal Mark I, the delirious dancer almost comes to a sleepy halt, but manages to summon the strength to finish the dance to become cured.
