Describing the tammurriata as a traditional dance is rather reductive, and it only partially explains what it represents in Campania; rather, we can consider it a shared social practice that brings together music, movement, devotion, and community life, even if it doesn’t have a standardized form.
Instead, it takes shape within specific places and occasions, particularly those linked to religious feasts and is often used as a form of participation and a symbol of collective memory.
