Facts and practical information

The monument to Enrico dell'Acqua is an equestrian monument located in Piazza Volontari della Libertà in Busto Arsizio, in front of the entrance to the FS station. It is dedicated to Enrico dell'Acqua, a pioneer of cotton export from Italy abroad and a gold medalist of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
