Antonio received a scholarship in 1961 while learning manual skills from his father, and went to work under the well known French lutier Etienne Vatelot. He is primarily known for his violins, many of which have won prizes over the years, but as with many violin makers he also commissioned bows to be made by quality bow makers in his name.
