History

The idea to create an association with the scope to preserve the traditions and spread the culture of the city of Busto Arsizio, born in 1950 by a group of six citizens with a passion for the History and the culture of Busto Arsizio. The purpose was also to keep alive the Bustocco dialect which has the advantage of clearly distinct from those of neighbouring towns, such as to constitute a linguistic island in itself. Founder members who on 13 March 1951 gave birth to the association were Luigi Bellotti, Angelo Bottigelli, Enrico Crespi, Bruno Grampa, Nino Miglierina and Raffaele Montoli. The Statute was approved by Member Assembly on 22 April 1952. As patron of the association was chosen, Blessed Giuliana of Busto. During its years of activity, ''La Famiglia Bustocca'' collected books and publications related to Busto Arsizio, its History, its dialect and its customs and traditions, by authors and researchers not only local. Every year the association offers to its members the ''Almanacco della Famiglia Bustocca'', a publication with articles and papers about local art and history, personality and events in Busto Arsizio. This publication every year is required from important libraries in
