Zampognari is the name of traditional musicians that mark the beginning of the Christmas celebrations in some regions of Italy. The instrument they play is the bagpipe. Originally, these traditional musicians were shepherds who came down from the hills to celebrate the holiday season with their families. Nowadays these musicians are men who work in the city, but they come from families with Zampognari tradition.
