The 1949 Bianchi Folgore on Carsten's site has some interesting details:

Celeste-colored thin (Gaslo?) handlebar tape.

Two-piece rear fender.

Sharp angle, not rounded, on the lower leading edge of the dropouts.

1-piece Y-shaped fender mounting brackets.

Are there slotted cutouts on the right crank arm, near the bolt circle?

Red pinstriping around headlugs, but only against the beige-looking headtube, and no blue details on the chainstay dimples.

Rear fender bracket mounted behind the acorn nut on the rear brake!

Earlier-style notched headlugs, without the continuous curve of later models.
