INFO:Rabitti was originally a right-winger and centre-forward but had his peak as inside-forward. His career started in 1939 at Juventus where he played until 1943, always as reserve. He then played for Casale, Cuneo, Spezia and Viareggio. He eventually had his best time after signing for Como in 1948, spending here four seasons, making 116 appearances and scoring 35 goals. He had a major role in his first year as he scored 16 goals and helped Como to obtain the promotion to Serie A. He another remarkable season two years later in the top tier league, scoring 11 goals. He retired in 1959 after playing in lower leagues for Fanfulla, Cecina, Anconitana and Asti.
A right-winger and centre-forward in his early years, Rabitti established himself at Como as inside-right. However, he was deployed as right-winger in a few occasions during the 1949-50 season after coming back from a long injury, and mainly as inside-left in the 1950-51 season. He was a short offensive player who could rely on great speed on the ball, accurate distribution, remarkable shooting technique and a thunderous strike. A solid set piece taker, he scored some penalties and a few free kicks, taking advantage of his powerful shots and accuracy from long range. He was creative, sometimes too individualistic. However, he didn't dislike supporting the half and back-line, going back and forth thanks to an impressive stamina. He was an endless engine and the driving force of Como's team. Furthermore, he was a decent header despite his short height.
