Since the early modern period, tarantism has been the subject of controversy to establish its real etiopathogenesis, becoming now a form of arachnidism, now a form of psychic disorder. Between taxonomic reformulations, experimental tests and interpretations of the choreutic-musical components, these positions alternated until the medical studies of Ignazio Carrieri (1862-1926) and Francesco De Raho (1881-1961). In Salento, moreover, there was a strong presence of thaumaturgical and devotional practices linked to the cult of St Paul. Although these components were central to popular medicine, they were not a constant in medical investigations. In that perspective, this paper intends to compare the modus operandi of Carrieri and De Raho in order to examine how similar experimental analyses can lead to different conclusions on the nosographic level. In addition, the comparison of the case histories highlights the clinical-epistemological problems related to the finding of signs of arachnidism. In conclusion, this work presents the positions towards the Pauline cult and their role in the theoretical elaborations.
