It was a tough one to take for Dennis and his BMC team, who had targeted winning the short opening stage as the flawless way to honour their founder and owner Andy Rihs, who died last month.
Mareczko held off Ireland's Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe) while Italians Niccolo Bonifazio (Bahrain Merida) and Sacha Modolo (EF Education First-Drapac) completed the top five.
We will remind, the victor of the first, the Jerusalem stage of the Cycling race "Giro d'italia" which took place on Friday, may 4, was Tom Dumoulin, the reigning champion.
"It's a great jersey and it's a real honour to be the leader of a Grand Tour and for our team, we wanted to do it for Andy Rihs".
Often, sprint stages can be relatively boring proceedings until the final few kilometres, though this morning's stage offered a bit more action due to the contest for the leader's pink jersey.
The favourite for the stage, Viviani showed why by overcoming being out of position, coming from behind to surge past Jakub Mareczko and take his second win in his Giro career.
With a bonus of three seconds available at each of the race's intermediate sprints, BMC put in a huge turn to set Dennis up for the sprint, with Viviani close behind, although he was just stretching his legs for the real prize another 60km down the road. He put a lot into our team and we wanted to give back to him and to do this for him and his family is a real pleasure for us.

"I think the third week and even the second week is still a big unknown for me".
"I'm sure at some stage I'm going to lose this jersey but I'm not going to stop fighting for it and mentally fighting for it until we're in Rome". "I saw guys do things like this and I always thought that was really fantastic so to be a part of that little group is a real honour".
By doing so, Dennis joins an elite group, with Australian time trial specialist the 23rd rider in cycling history to earn the leader's jersey in all three Grand Tours.
After the drama of Friday's warm-up ride crash and below-par time-trial effort, Team Sky Chris Froome had an uneventful day on the 167-kilometre jaunt from Haifa to Tel Aviv.
Before the start of the race, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with representatives of the first Israeli professional Bicycle command "the Israeli Academy of Cycling".
Stage three will follow a lengthy 229km route on Sunday from Beersheba in the Negev desert down to Israel's southern tip of Eilat along the Red Sea.
