Antonio Maggioni was born on October 18, 1946 in Bergamo.
He started his footballing career in the youth teams of Juventus and in November 1966 was sent on loan to Lazio. A right back, he did not have much playing time in a pretty dismal year for the Biancocelesti which saw them go down to Serie B at the end of the season. He made 8 appearances and scored his only Serie A career goal against Lecco on February 12 at the Olimpico.
Back at Juve, he was again sent on loan to Verona in Serie B, but even there he made just a few appearances (12). The club however had an exceptional year and were promoted to Serie A.
In 1968 he signed for Palermo in Serie A and was one of the first eleven. The Rosanero avoided relegation but he moved back to his home town and signed for Atalanta. He played four years there totalling 115 league appearances. In his second year the Dea was promoted to Serie A after a playoff in which Maggioni scored the winning goal.
In 1973 he signed for Genoa still in Serie A but in the two following seasons he was sent on loan first to Arezzo and then Avellino, both in Serie B. Back at Genoa in 1976 he played for the Rossoblu another two years before ending his career in 1978 with Varese.
When he arrived at Lazio he was just a kid, but his athleticism and professionality allowed him to debut in Serie A. He was unlucky, arriving in a season everybody would want to forget, quickly.
