Hello Valerii,
It might be difficult to find it because of the war damage, the landscape may have changed a little in the years since the end of the war, but I wish you all the best in trying to find out where on the Adriatic Coast that the photograph was taken.
Season's Greetings

Thanks a lot for your time & genius work Konrad!
I'm really purshaated to you for that!
Also I think that this photo could be made in july of 1945,
when my great-grandfather's pulk & maybe all 3DSK visit the monument to the 3 DSK soldiers at Monte Calvario (593 Hill, opened on 18th of july in 1945)
The Memorial to the 3rd Carpathian Rifle Division
Regards, Valerii

Hello Valerii,
A Regiment is a unit composed of the Command, Staff, Quartermaster (Kwatermistrzostwo) and several sub-units (Battalions, Squadrons, Companies). Finally Company consists of about 3-4 Platoons (Plutony).
I don't think that the 3 KPAPlotL had its own Kompania Warsztatowa (Workshop Company), but clearly had its own Pluton Warsztatowy (Workshop Platoon). I think the Pluton Warsztatowy in witch your great-grandfather served in was a part of the Kwatermistrzostwo (Quartermaster) operating in the rear of the unit.
Thus the mark "KW" is probably an abbreviation for Kwatermistrzostwo, IMO.
Regards
Konrad

Hello Valerii,
The place from the photos you have posted is the beach in Porto San Giorgio. In the backgroud behind the soldiers seeting on the beach there is the buildings of the Town Hall where was the Headquartes of the 2nd Corps.
