BURASCA | BURASCHI

Burasca, extremely rare, has some presence in Emilia and in the Marche, Buraschi has a Lombard lineage in Milan in Meda, Milan, Cormano and Cinisello Balsamo, in Saronno in the Varese area and in Brescia and Azzano Mella in the Brescia area, it has presences in Emilia, in particular to Carpi in the Modena area, and a stock in Castelmassa in the Rovigoto, should derive from dialectal nicknames, which could have originated from the archaic dialect word bura (lean earth), perhaps to indicate who came from a stony or arid area, or from the term medieval dialectal burass (sieve), which could indicate the type of job of the founders, who probably used that type of instrument.
