Antonio has an AHRC-sponsored PhD in History on 'Management consultancy and the British state' from Birkbeck, University of London, published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2019.

With a deep interest in state reform, business history, and political history, this research challenges convential narratives of British declinism and a closed, elitist civil service. 

Antonio has previously written on the religious beliefs of Margaret Thatcher, featuring on BBC Radio 4's Sunday programme, and the role of the civil rights movement in Hollywood.

Antonio holds a PhD (Hobsbawm Scholar) in History from Birkbeck, University of London, an MPhil (Distinction) in History from the University of Cambridge, and an MA CANTAB (First Class) in History from the University of Cambridge.
