Biagio is a movement, an effervescence around a mythical dance: the tarantella.

A magic potion

In Italy, the tarantella was believed to be a dance used to heal a patient suffering from a tarantula bite. When the venom spreads through the body, it’s necessary to dance the tarantella and enter a trance-like state. Legend has it that the venom left the body through perspiration.

Through this design, Studio Boam evokes the interpretation of this dance by playing on the decomposition of dance steps. Bodies awaken, vibrate, transcend, and abandon themselves. The use of copper and black in the design recalls the chromatic spectrum of coffee, enhancing the visual and sensory experience.

The tarantella, an ancestral dance charged with mystery and power, is not just a spectacle for the eyes but a visceral experience that reaches deep into the soul. The dance’s rhythm, characterized by its rapid tempo and energetic movements, mirrors the vibrant and lively nature of southern Italian culture. It’s a dance that tells a story, one of healing, celebration, and connection to the earth and the community.

In the context of Biagio, the tarantella’s symbolism extends beyond its historical roots. It becomes a metaphor for the liqueur’s ability to bring people together, to create moments of joy and shared experience. Each sip of Biagio is akin to a step in the tarantella, a part of a larger dance that celebrates life and tradition.

The intricate relationship between the dance and the liqueur is further reflected in the choice of ingredients and the meticulous crafting process of Biagio. Just as the tarantella’s steps are precise and intentional, so too are the methods used to create this exquisite coffee liqueur. The infusion of coffee, spirits, and select spices mirrors the harmonious blend of steps in the tarantella, resulting in a beverage that is both complex and balanced.
