Original Pink Jersey (Maglia Rosa) from the 1979 Giro d’Italia, prepared for/worn by Giuseppe Saronni.

The shirt shows signs of wear and small holes, likely due to the period method of applying sponsors, which were directly attached to the wool and have left visible marks over time.

One sleeve also shows dark staining. No photographic evidence of these specific details has been found, therefore it cannot be guaranteed beyond reasonable doubt that the shirt was actually worn during a race.

Giuseppe Saronni has signed the jersey on the front. The autograph on this collectible has successfully passed a quick opinion conducted by an authentication body managed by handwriting experts. The auction winner will receive the details of this quick opinion from Memorabid, which can be submitted to the authentication body for comparison and confirmation. The buyer may then choose, at their own discretion, to proceed directly with the authority to obtain full certification.

During his career, he won two Giro d’Italia titles (1979 and 1983), a Road World Championship in 1982, and numerous classic races.
