Antonio Arnieri obtained his PhD in English Literature at the University of Verona, Italy. His research interests encompass Sound Studies, Digital Humanities, Cultural Studies, Literary Studies, and Theatre Studies. His doctoral thesis, titled "Sound and Identity in Shakespeare's Theatre," explores the role of sound as a hermeneutical tool within Shakespearean drama focusing on the auditory history of early modern England. In 2020 Antonio was a visiting PhD researcher at the Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham, UK.

Previously, he pursued a Master's degree in Foreign Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at Roma Tre University, where he graduated cum laude.

Antonio has presented his research at several international conferences such as Soundscapes in the Early Modern World (Liverpool, 2021), ESRA Conference (Athens, 2021), AIA Conference (Rende, 2022). He is a member of the IMS Study Group ‘Auditory History’, AIA (Associazione Italiana di Anglistica) and Early Modern Soundscapes.

Currently, Antonio is a postdoctoral research associate at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, working within the ERC Advanced Project "SOUNDSPACE. How Processions Moved: Sound and Space in the Performance of Urban Ritual, c.1400–c.1700." As an interdisciplinary scholar, Antonio's primary focus within the project revolves around the auditory history, emotions, and sensory experiences associated with the Spanish Golden Age Theatre. Simultaneously, he directs his attention towards exploring the performative facets of early modern processions, assessing the impact of urban rituals while also employing digital humanities methodologies.
