Artemio Antonini was a tough-looking stuntman and actor active in Italian films from at least the mid-50's until the mid-80's.
Wikipedia gives the unconfirmed details that he was born on June 16th 1924 in Rome, Italy and that he died on December 5th 2001, also in Rome. No other biographical information is currently known.
Most online filmographies start his career in 1960, but I have uncovered a role from 1955 so I think it is highly likely there will be more 50's roles to be found. I have also found a number of other undocumented roles from later in his career so it is probable there will be more late roles to be found too.
I have started his topic only with roles found by myself, so there are plenty more to add, particularly from westerns and later in his career.

No Antonini!
Titles where Artemio is credited with appearing somewhere online, but either does not appear or else I was unable to find him for some reason.
- Piedone lo sbirro (1973) IMDb. Most of the usual stuntmen are present, but I couldn't find any sign of Artemio.
- La polizia accusa: il servizio segreto uccide (1975) IMDb as Prisoner. He does not appear as a prisoner. There is a driver at the start of the film who has a similar look, but opinion was that it is not him.
- Una colt in mano al diavolo (1973) IMDb as as Jeremy, blacksmith. Carlos tells me that Artemio does not appear here, but does appear in the similarly-titled Una colt, in pugno al diavolo.
