The caption of the photo indicates Canne as deployment airfield for these planes of 4° Stormo – 9° Gruppo. The hills in the background rather suggests that the airfield  is Canne (coordinates 41°55'50.77"N, 15°3'45.91"E)  located the plain of Campomarino  with no surrounding hills.   I would rather suggest that the airfield depicted is the one of Palata (Campobasso province, coordinates 41°52'42.45"N, 14°54'13.81"E) at about 10 km. East of the village of Palata, 6 km. Southeast Montecilfone and about 4 km.South-West of Guglionesi. It was listed among the airfields of the complex of the Foggia airfield complex.
