the "lazarett" where he was hospitalized Sebastian was in some historical building of Coltano (famous for the Marconi radio station and then because a large fascist prison camp after 1945)... then and now...

I tried to do a search where he could be the pioneer company of the 15th Regiment, but not easy to contextualize the exact date (Sebastian may have been injured a few days before) .... it should be around probably Fuglia 15/20 km
South of Pisa....

soldiers of the 16 RFSS Div. in"Piazza dei Miracoli" in Pisa ....

and a truck of the 16 RFSS Div. hit and abandoned South of Pisa....
