Antonio is rather affectionate to Lovino, having raised him from the time he was a child and under his rule. As a result, Lovino takes after him in his culture and customs.

In the years of having raised him, Antonio often had difficulty trying to get Lovino to do chores, and had wished that he could have acquired Feliciano instead, due to the younger brother's obedience and "cuteness". He also found Lovino's frequent bed-wetting and harsh attitude to be annoying, though he eventually wound up having to bail the child out when he was kidnapped by Sadiq, though their kingdom wound up thrown into debt due to the Ottoman ruler taking over for some time.
