Hello, Barbara -
Apparently the Babi Italia cribs were manufactured by LaJobi Industries. Cribs manufactured by LaJobi Industries were recalled by the US Consumer Protection Safety Commission (CPSC) in 2003 due to faulty hardware for the drop sides of the cribs, which would come loose or detach causing injuries, some of them fatal, to children.
Read the recall information here:
https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2003/cpsc-babi-italialajobi-industries-announce-recall-to-replace-tiffany-and-josephine-crib
The CPSC issued another recall of some LaJobi cribs in June 2009. See:

See more information dated 24 June 2010 here:

It seems LaJobi Industries went out of business some time in 2014.
Note this information printed near the bottom of each CSPC recall notice:
(Quote)
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
(End quote)
Therefore if you purchased the crib second hand from either a resale shop or an individual (yard sale, online sales site, etc.) you can demand a refund of the purchase price.
If someone gave you the crib, they should have researched Babi Italia cribs and discovered they were deemed unsafe. That means: "Thanks, but no thanks."
Bottom line: Do not try to replace the missing crib hardware and use it for a crib. If you or someone you know is clever, the crib could be re-purposed as a settee or other furniture, with no moving parts.
Best wishes.
We have neither any hardware, not do we know how to get you some.
Please contact the manufacturer, using the computer .
God bless your efforts.
