Burcei will remember Isidoro Frigau , the hero soldier killed at the age of twenty by the fascists after the armistice on Wednesday 15 March, in the morning.

To honor his memory, the ANPI section of Burcei will lay a stumbling block in the town, in Piazza Repubblica.

A few years ago the Belvedere of the town was named after the soldier.

Born in 1923, Frigau died in Succisa (Pontremoli), in the province of Massa, on 15 March 1944. He was awarded the silver medal in memory with a Decree of the President of the Republic on 25 September 1989.

Frigau, a partisan, was a shepherd before wearing the uniform . He was the son of Raffaele Frigau, also a shepherd, and of the housewife Marcella Frigau.

In the decree of the President of the Republic which awarded him the silver medal, it is written that Frigau «had left from Burcei, a mountain town in the province of Cagliari, which at the time had just over two thousand inhabitants. Enlisted in the army, after the signing of the Armistice on 8 September 1943, the young man (battle name 'Pisu') together with other Sardinian fellow soldiers had chosen to stay and fight the Germans and fascists. Wounded, the Sardinian partisan had managed to hit the enemy before being killed.

In the firefight - as Marco Sini, a passionate scholar of the partisan movement and former mayor of Monserrato recalls - two other partisans of the "Guido Picelli" Battalion lost their lives: Fermo Ognibene, the commander "Alberto" and Remo Moscatelli, "Remo". The "Guido Picelli" battalion was among the first partisan formations in the Apennines, made up of young people from the area and other Italian soldiers, after the armistice of 8 September. With them, also the Sardinians Isidoro Frigau and Giuseppe Casula.

«On Wednesday - says the president of the partisan section of Burcei, Maria Caterina Scuda - we will remember Isidoro Frigau with the laying of the stumbling block. An : he left Burcei as a boy, never returned. He ».
