The winner of the Giro d'Italia wears a maglia rosa, which is a pink jersey. This distinctive color symbolizes the leader of the race and is awarded to the cyclist with the lowest cumulative time at the end of each stage. The maglia rosa has become an iconic representation of the Giro d'Italia and its rich history.

The Giro d'Italia is typically 23 days. This includes 21 days of racing and two rest days. This is a similar format to the other two Grand Tours in professional cycling: Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana.
Most famous is probably the Tour de France - in France, then there's Giro di Italia, in Italy, which is quite well known too.

Giro di Italia was born pretty much the same way as Tour de France was, a newspaper decided to host a sports event to generate interest and sell more copies. In france that newspaper was printed on yellow-dyed paper, in Italy it was pink. And before the days of readily available, up-to-date media, the different color jerseys were a helpful tool for spectators to know when a top rider was passing by.
