In Search of the Pink Jerseys

The Giro d'Italia has a new project, "Giro for Ghisallo", that is trying to 1) locate and 2) recover the pink jerseys (maglia rosa) for the Ghisallo Cycling Museum. The concept of the pink jersey as the leader's jersey was introduced at the 1931 Giro d'Italia.

Today, Alfredo Martini donated the pink jersey of Gosta Petterson from the 1971 Giro d'Italia.

The following are now in the possession of the museum: 1947, 1948, 1951, 1956, 1957, 1991, 1999, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010.

They are "on the trail" of the following: 1935, 1955, 1979, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1993, 1994, 1998, 2004, 2009.

For the remaining years they don't have any information or leads.

Let me know if you know where any of the missing ones are.
