Leopoldo Sabbatini

Leopoldo Sabbatini was an Italian lawyer and the first dean and president of Bocconi University, the first business school in Italy. He was born in 1861, married in 1880, and died in 1914. He also had an awesome handlebar mustache.

I have never had a handlebar mustache. I've never had any mustache for that matter. I have hairs above my lip though. If I let them grow long, and shaved all the other hairs on my face, I'd have a mustache. But it's quite possibly something I'll never do as long as I live. That suddenly seems sad to me.
