My Italian isn't great, but I'm pretty sure the upper-right soldier (with the arquebus) is French, and the first sentence says he's from one of the first French expeditions, to Florida and Georgia.

IIRC those red hats were more associated with Central and Eastern Europe, unlike Spain. France also has strong historical ties to it.
