The traditional Italian Zampogne, or Zampogna, bagpipes, sometimes accompanied by a tamburello frame drum and singing, are found in many Italian regions, particularly in Southern Italy, where it is central to folk heritage and identity. The Zampognari's pastoral roots are traced back to shepherds who spent long periods with their animals grazing in the countryside, where the zampogne would echo through the mountains. These musical shepherds also traditionally announced the coming of Christmas with their playing.
