The first image looks to me like a rider with a boquet of flowers....being a Bianchi possibly an image of Coppi.

Hi Everyone, wanted to update with a link to my blog, which has some photos of the 1964 Bianchi Team bike I've been working on. I could use some help identifying some of the very worn decals that I've not seen before. Also could use some advice on the frame. While I prefer to conserve rather than refinish the frame, after disassembling most of the bike today, I've come to realize that the rust on the bottom bracket is pretty scary. Photos are at the link below:

Would appreciate any thoughts and any info on the decals.

Thanks,
