No commemorative here. Visentini swapped the Maglia Rosa with Moser back in the early 80's (my unwillingness to dig into my "pile" unables me to produce the exact year). Proof is no further than in your bathroom, you know, where you keep your cycling mags. If you happen to have a recent issue of Cycle Sport, say July, on page one Visentini can be seen wearing said jersey while sitting next to Moser.
