Are there tarantulas in Italy?

Question

I'm going to Italy in a few days and I was wondering if there are tarantulas there? thanks.

Answer 1

no all the tarantulas there are imported by their owners

Answer 2

yes  be careful... it is a southern country, you can get all sort of diseases...

...less tourists, more place for us... :))

(it was sarcasm)

Answer 3

Ummm not naturally. There are 'spiders' on almost every continent, but there aren't many or any in Italy, unless someone let a tarantula loose or something. Have a good trip!

Answer 4

They dance the Tarantella there.  It is not clear if there are tarantulas still there. Tarantulas are shy and avoid human contact. I never saw one when I was there.
