Hello Alessio,
My Dad spent time in Florence during the war and I have been there myself when I was 17 years old, 53 years ago. Maybe you could take a photo of the helmet and the inscriptions and post on this site. There is a the National World War I Museum in New Orleans, Louisianna that may be interested and might be able to help you as well. I have been in touch with them on other matters. Try emailing Caitlin Page:

Good luck, Alessio!

Hi,
What does PROVENANCE OF THE FIND mean? How do you know it's 349th?

I don't know for sure but I'm going to guess that the Q-3324 could be either his last initial and last 4 of his social security number or GI number. Somebody else here might know how that was done.
