He was one of the promoters of the [[Congress of Italian Scientists]] in [[Pisa]] in [[1839]] and in Florence in [[1841]] and was responsible for bringing permanence, order and security to the Italian legacy of [[meteorology|meteorological]] [[data]] by founding the [[Italian Meteorological Archive]].
Antinori was a member of the [[Accademia della Crusca]] and wrote many entries for the [[Crusca dictionary]] on scientific topics. He had a particular interest in preserving and interpreting documents and artefacts from the work of [[Galileo Galilei]] and his followers.
