Italian pilot flying Me 262

Hello gentlemen,
does anybody of you know anything about an Italian pilot, maresciallo Elvezio Bartoletti, who was supposedly killed in a flight accident on Feb 21, 1945, while flying a Me 262A-1a?
He apparently belonged to 1./Fl.U.G.1(Sud) but I wasn't able to ascertain anything else about his German career, started after the Italian armistice of Sept 8, 1943.
I got the information of his death from the book " Messerschmitt Me 262 - Production log 1941-45" by Dan O'Connell, published in 2005 by Classic.
Thanks and regards
Giovanni

After a quick search on google, I found that an Elvezio Bartoletti (or Bartolotti), born on November 20, 1918, in Peschiera (Verona) has been executed (by partisans?) on May 5, 1945 (therefore after the official end of the war in Italy) in Torino/Aeritalia. "Aeritalia" being the airport of the city.

Best,
