The ethnographic museum "Alfredo Majorano" is located in the historic center of Taranto, inside Palazzo Pantaleo.
Inside, there are several testimonials of the popular traditions of the city of Taranto and its province collected by the scholar Alfredo Majorano (1902-1984) and his wife Elena Spinelli.
The museum houses important documentation of the timeless cultural heritage, such as recordings of the "pizzica" made by Majorano in the fifties and other evidence of the phenomenon of tarantism, studied by the ethnologist Ernesto De Martino.
