Etymological curiosity: according to popular history it seems that the name attributed to the village was born in about the thirteenth century, when the fortress of the town was the home of a rich lord who forced his subjects to exhausting jobs, paying them only a very small part of the product.
It seems that one night the population rose up against these prevarications and put the fortress to fire and sword, kidnapping its inhabitant.
The squire was taken to the square and burned at the stake, with the euphoric population yelling at him "brüsa porco", which in the Bergamo dialect literally means "burn pig".
To date, there is no documented evidence of either the existence of the revolt or even less of the tragic end of the Signorotto.
