Sabatini was a great frame maker in Italy but his name never got what he deserved except for his name (Sabatini) being chosen by a famous Italian actor (Francesco Nuti) as a name for one of his characters in a movie ("*Ad ovest di Paperino") *(and he chose the name exactly because he wanted to give a bit of visibility to this frame maker.)
He always worked with his wife (who was in charge of the decals) and he was particularly attracted by the lugs and always worked hard to make them beautiful.
You can see some more of his frames here (in Italian, from which I got this info too):
