El Biscella

"El Biscella" is an Italian song in Milanese dialect of Lombard from the early 1960s composed by Giovanni D'Anzi and Alfredo Bracchi.

History

"Biscella" is a Milanese word meaning "curly", 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 for his ridiculous clothes and his awkward way of dancing.
