Every year I'm able to add another little piece of 1949 Giro d'Italia memorablilia to my collection. This winter it's been jerseys, the pointy-collared reproductions Santini made for the RAI television movie about Fausto Coppi. I've obtained the '49 Ganna and '49 Viscontea jerseys, along with some other period jerseys not used in the Giro in 1949; Olympia, Learco Guerra, Lygie, Gloria).
Most of these jerseys were a surprise, as they didn't appear on the old Santini website alongside the Atala, Bianchi, Carpano-Coppi, and Giro/Tour leaders jerseys. Anyone know what other jerseys were made with this series?
Here's the list of pointy-collars I know of so far:
Giro d'Italia leader's (pink) Tour de France leader's (yellow) Italian National Team (blue) Carpano-Coppi (white) Bianchi-Ursus (blue/white) Atala (gray/blue) Bartali-Gardiol (yellow/blue) Ganna-Ursus (blue/white) Gloria (yellow/blue) L.Guerra (yellow/red) Legnano-Pirelli (green/red) Lygie (green) Olympia (white/red ) Viscontea-Ursus (blue/yellow)
What other jerseys were available in this series?
