It's Brescian for "castanet".
(percussion instrument consisting of a pair of concave pieces of wood held in the palm of the hand and clicked together, usually to accompany dancing; particularly to accompany the traditional Spanish dance called flamenco.)
Brescia is in northern Italy, your word "ciacole" seems to be in the local dialect spoken there. The "normal" Italian word for castanet would be "nacchere".

"Ciacole" is not Italian. Is a word used in the dialect from north-est Italy to say "chat" or "chatter" or "talk", depending on the context.
"Ciacolare" means "to chat".
