When they found out I was a long-time cyclist the wife pressed the Italian team jersey in my hand and insisted I take it as well, no charge! I asked if there was a vintage bike that matched that vintage Pinarello jersey and they just smiled. I think that one's a family heirloom.
The best I can find is that Riello may be an Italian sponsor and Verloo is Belgian. The Italia jersey is from Vancouver and the Pinarello jersey is the Toronto Cycling Club.
That's quite a story, I think I would probably frame them with the name of the pro rider that wore them.
