Accurate Replica of the Italian Champion Jersey Worn by Fiorenzo Magni After His 1954 Victory
In 1954, the "Lion of Flanders" Fiorenzo Magni donned a cycling jersey that would become legendary: the Italian Champion's Jersey. Unlike the national team's traditional Azure, this jersey was characterized by the harmony of the Italian flag colors, symbolizing the tricolor worn by the National Champion. Pioneering with its adoption of a zipper instead of the classic buttons, this jersey symbolizes an era of change and innovation in cycling, masterfully carried forward by Emilio De Marchi. Today, we have the honor of offering an accurate replica of this wool cycling jersey, made with the same passion and precision as in the past.
- Jersey made with original Merino wool blend yarn, selected for maximum comfort and durability.

Relive the History of Cycling
First worn by the great Fiorenzo Magni in 1954, the vintage cycling jersey crafted by De Marchi is a true piece of cycling history, showcasing a design that stands apart from the classic monochrome Azure worn by the National team. This jersey is distinguished by its equal division of the three colors of the Italian flag, worn by the National Champion: red, white, and green. Innovative for its time, this wool cycling jersey was among the first to feature a zipper instead of buttons, a custom feature created by Emilio De Marchi for the "Lion of Flanders." The jersey is historically tied to the Coppa Bernocchi and Magni's performance, proudly worn by him throughout the season following his Italian Championship victory in 1954.
