Amadeo Tomás Sabattini (May 29, 1892 – February 29, 1960) was an
Governor of Córdoba
from May 17, 1936, to May 17, 1940.
Sabattini was born in
Province of Córdoba
in 1936.
A supporter of much of President Yrigoyen's
Catholic Church
's input in school curricula, earning him the enmity of that influential institution.
The Governor retired to his modest home in Villa María and in 1940, though he was ineligible for reelection per the provincial constitution, his UCR was returned to power that year, electing Governor Santiago del Castillo. Sabattini's electoral and judicial reforms, as well as Córdoba Province conservatives' unwillingness to participate in the prevailing system of "
patriotic fraud," prevented the nation's ruling party (the Concordance
) from seizing the Governorship.
Sabattini became a supporter of many of the social reforms advanced by Labor Minister
UCRI's Arturo Frondizi when the exiled Perón endorsed him ahead of the February 1958 elections
.
Living in solitude and nearly penniless, Sabattini died in
Villa María
in 1960, at age 67.
