During the Tour of Italy, the leader of the tour wears the pink cycling jersey. In 1931, the first pink jersey, called maglia rosa in Italian, was awarded. Learco Guerra is the first wearer of the pink jersey. The Giro d'Italia was founded by the Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport and is still the most important sponsor. The Gazzetta has been printed in pink since 1899 and the leader of the Giro d'Italia is therefore allowed to wear the pink jersey.
