Club career

Youth career
Born in Murcia when his father was playing in Spain, Antonetti began playing football in the Puerto Rican club Caguas Bairoa before moving to Conquistadores de Guaynabo. His impressions at the 2013 MIC Tournament led him to a move to Spanish club ED Xuventude Oroso. In 2019, he was signed by CD Lugo for their academy.

Lugo
In November 2021, Antonetti was called up by Lugo's first team for a Copa del Rey match against AD Unión Adarve, but he was only an unused substitute. On 20 May 2022, after scoring eleven goals for the reserves and helping in their first-ever promotion to the Segunda Federación, he made his professional debut with Lugo's first team in the Segunda División, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Diego Alende in a 0–1 away loss against Real Zaragoza.

International career
Antonetti made his international debut with Puerto Rico U17 in the 2019 Concacaf Championship under coach Marco Vélez, where he managed to score a goal against Martinique in the first round. In 2021, he was called up for the under-20 team under coach Dave Sarachan for 2021 CONCACAF U-20 Championship qualifying, where he helped Puerto Rico advance to the final round.

Antonetti made his debut with the full side on 9 June 2022, in a CONCACAF Nations League match against the Cayman Islands. His first full international goal occurred on 23 March of the following year, as he scored the equalizer in a 3–1 win over the British Virgin Islands.

Personal life
Antonetti's father Ossie was a professional volleyball player, and is the current head coach of the Puerto Rico men's national volleyball team.
