albero di sonagli = bell tree


Explanation:
I think this comes from the Italian 'albero di sonagli' -> bell tree
So I suppose sonagli are bells that are used as a percussion instrument.

additional info


Explanation:
According to http://www.carl-orff.com/werke_03.html , Carmina Burana calls for "Schellen," which translates jingle bells or sleigh bells.

For an illustration of both jingle bells (sonagli, Schellen) and bell tree (albero di sonagli, Schellenbaum), see http://www.acblack.com/musicexpress/guide.html .
