He was the oldest Footballer in Serie A until Cesena were relegated to Serie B at the end of the 2011–12 season.

Club career
Grown as a player in the ranks of AC Milan, Antonioli was brought to the starting lineup at the start of the 1992–93 season. However, a string of mistakes, including a dreadful fumble in the Milan derby which gifted Luigi de Agostini a soft goal, allowed Sebastiano Rossi to reclaim his starting spot. Milan won the league title that season, also reaching the final of the UEFA Champions League.
Joining Bologna in 1995, he was the undisputed first-choice (except in 1997–98, where he backed up Giorgio Sterchele), helping Bologna to win the 1998 UEFA Intertoto Cup, and reach the semi-finals of the 1998–99 UEFA Cup and the Coppa Italia. In 1999 he joined Roma for 10 billion Italian lire[1] and in 2001, he won a Scudetto and a Supercoppa Italiana with AS Roma, also reaching the final of the Coppa Italia in 2003.
In the summer of 2003, Antonioli joined U.C. Sampdoria on a free transfer.[2][3] In 2006–07, with Luca Castellazzi's emergence between the posts, Antonioli left for former club Bologna on another free transfer.
He led Bologna to win Serie A promotion once again in mid-2008.
After the end of 2008–09 season, he was released and replaced by U21 internationals Emiliano Viviano. Antonioli then joined Serie B newcomer A.C. Cesena in July and the club sent the former first choice Nicola Ravaglia to lower division. He was the first choice ahead Michele Tardioli. Antonioli was also protagonist of the club's second consecutive promotion in 2010, thus having another chance of top flight football at the age of 41 in the 2010–11 Serie A season. The team survived from relegation battle by finished 15th and he was offered a new 1-year contract.[4]
International career
Antonioli never debuted for the senior side, but was selected in the Italy squad that finished second at Euro 2000, as third-choice goalkeeper, behind Christian Abbiati and Francesco Toldo, but only because Italy's number one goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon, had injured himself in an international friendly warm-up a few days before the beginning of the tournament.[5]
Antonioli was the first-choice goalkeeper of the Italy national under-21 football team that won the 1992 UEFA European Under-21 Championship; with the Italian squad, he also took part in the 1992 Olympic Games.[5]
