Antonino, Gucci

Antonino, Digital Accessibility Tester at Gucci - From music to accessibility, Antonino has transformed his personal experience and skills into an innovative journey, placing accessibility at the core of digital development. Today, he works to break down barriers and build a more inclusive future. Antonino's journey is unique: it combines his love for music with his technological expertise and passion for accessibility. After graduating from the Conservatory of Reggio Calabria, Italy, having specialized in both piano and musical composition, he embarked on a successful career as a music teacher. Accessibility resonates personally for Antonino because he is partially sighted. In 2021, after years of teaching and consulting in the field of digital accessibility, an unexpected opportunity presented itself - a friend working in recruitment brought to his attention an open position at Gucci. Antonino was hired as an Accessibility Tester, responsible for testing accessibility internally for digital development teams. His role expanded: he now oversees all accessibility workflows, collaborating with developers, designers and legal teams to ensure that digital tools and products meet current accessibility standards. Since January 2025, Antonino has worked within the Digital Delivery & Quality Assurance team. One of his main goals is to further promote a culture of accessibility within the company.
