Antonio Filippini (born 3 July 1973 in Brescia) is a retired Italian footballer who mainly played as a defensive midfielder.
During his extensive professional career, he played in several teams with his twin brother, Emanuele.
Having emerged through hometown Brescia Calcio's youth system, Filippini stayed there for eight professional seasons, after having started – on loan – with amateurs Ospitaletto, the first of many teams he shared with his sibling Emanuele. The pair made their Serie A debut on 31 August 1997 in a 1–2 away loss against F.C. Internazionale Milano.
In January 2004, he moved to the second division with U.S. Città di Palermo, being crucial to the Sicilians' promotion, with 21 matches in only five months.
After a solid season with S.S. Lazio and a year with lowly Treviso F.B.C. 1993,[1] Filippini signed with A.S. Livorno Calcio on a free transfer in 2006, being rejoined by Emanuele (also his teammate at Lazio and Treviso) the following year, and helping the club return to the top flight in his third season, with 24 matches and one goal.
Filippini rejoined Brescia's for 2010–11, after 18 years. Following the club's top level relegation, he retired in June 2011 at the age of 38.
