Although born in Mesagne, D’Amico moved to Milan and that’s the place where his career skyrocketed. At his first job, Antonio served as a part-time office executive. He then met Gianni Versace, who was one of the world’s most prominent fashion designers, and the two of them eventually started a personal relationship. During that time D’Amico was hired by Versace and served in the position of a designer for the Versace Sport line, certainly boosting his net worth.
As of today, D’Amico has his own fashion company. In 2012, he designed a line of denim clothing inspired by the American west, in collaboration with Massimo Lotti. The line featured eye-catching pieces and was introduced at the Samuel Lynne Galleries and entitled ‘’Pump’’. Also, the line featured golden metallic, and was inspired by the Dallas fashion and vibe. A portion of D’Amico’s earnings comes from this, as the prices of the pieces vary from around $60 to $227 wholesale.
D’Amico has appeared on television too, making his acting debut in the 1973 movie ‘’Servo Suo’’alongside Chris Avram and Lea Lander. He has also been involved in wardrobe design and co-ordinatorm in1992 for Gianni Versace in ‘’Fine Romance’’, and also most importantly in 2001, when he took part in ‘’Fashion Victim: The Killing of Gianni Versace’’, a documentary movie focused on the assassination of Versace by Andrew Cunanan. As of the most recent past, he appeared in one episode of the television series ‘’Dateline NBC’’, again focusing on the investigation of the previously mentioned event.
A significant amount of Antonio’s income comes from the pension that Gianni Versace left him, reportedly a life pension of 50 million lire a month – around €26,000 – and in addition the right to live in his residences in Italy and the US, which however, Antonio wasn’t able to do because of the problems he had with Gianni’s family.
When it comes to D’Amico’s personal life, he was in a relationship with Gianni Versace for 15 years before Versace was assassinated in 1997 in Miami. The event was depicted in ‘’The Versace Murder’’, a 1998 film in which he was portrayed by the actor Oscar Torre. Antonio is in a poor relationship with Versace’s family including sister – Donatella stated that she never liked him, but only respected him as her brother’s boyfriend. In the same manner, she took over the properties that Gianni left for Antonio, as those properties belonged to the company at that time. In more recent interviews, D’Amico finally spoke about the death of his partner and admitted that he suffered from depression for a long time. D’Amico ridiculed Ricky Martin’s portrayal of him saying ‘’The picture of Ricky Martin holding the body in his arms is ridiculous’’. Speaking about his relationship status as of today, he doesn’t share much information regarding that topic.
