El Biscella
"El Biscella" (transl. bully boy) is an Italian song in Milanese dialect of Lombard[2] from the early 1960s composed by Giovanni D'Anzi[3] and Alfredo Bracchi. History"Biscella" is a Milanese word[4] meaning "curly" (derived from bisc-bish, meaning hedgehog), a kind of bully who tries to intimidate people, but whose clumsy manners and extravagant costumes make him more comical than dangerous. The song tells the story of a "biscella" that lives in Porta Ticinese neighbourhood who goes to parties, and that everyone behind his back laughs[5] for his ridiculous clothes and his awkward way of dancing.
