What was the name of the Italian town where Hemingway was wounded in WWI?

The Italian town where Ernest Hemingway was wounded in World War I was Fossalta di Piave. Hemingway was serving as an American Red Cross ambulance driver on the Italian Front in 1918, near the Piave River. On July 8, he was struck by shrapnel from an Austrian mortar while carrying supplies toward the front line.

Although badly injured in both legs, Hemingway reportedly helped Italian soldiers reach safety before he was evacuated. He spent several days in a field hospital and was then transferred to a Red Cross hospital in Milan, where he underwent treatment and recovery. Italy later awarded him the Silver Medal of Military Valor for his actions.

Fossalta di Piave is often confused with Milan because Milan was where Hemingway recovered, not where he was wounded. The experience later influenced A Farewell to Arms, whose protagonist is also wounded while serving with the Italian ambulance corps.
