Christmas time brings thoughts of jingle bells, carols… and piffero? If you live in Italy then the sound of the piffero might be one of your holiday traditions. It is an instrument that is often played by peasants in the streets during the Christmas season. In the past the instrument was accompanied by the zampogne, a type of bagpipe, but now it is more common to use an accordion.
