El Biscella
"El Biscella" () is an Italian song in Milanese dialect from the early 1960s composed by Giovanni D'Anzi and Alfredo Bracchi. History. "Biscella" is a Milanese word 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 for his ridiculous clothes and his awkward way of dancing.
