Fabregas, the former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder, helped guide Como back into the topflight last season after a 21-year absence.
It wasn’t the start to the season Como wanted as the Lombardy-based club lost to Juventus in their opening game.
However, they showed resilience on a sunny evening in Sardinia on matchday two.
Roberto Piccolo put the hosts ahead after 44 minutes with a contested header from close range.
It was the fifth season in a row that the 23-year-old striker has scored for a different Serie A club, after previous stints with Lecce, Empoli, Atalanta and Spezia.
Como levelled eight minutes into the second period through hometown player Patrick Cutrone, who met a flick on header at the back post for another close-range finish.
