Antonio Sicurezza (25 February 190529 August 1979) was an Italian painter. His work is representative of the Italian figurative art of that period. His output includes still life, landscapes, nudes, and religious figures. He obtained a scholarship to study painting at Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli under masters such as Carlo Siviero, Vincenzo Volpe, Vincenzo Migliaro and Paolo Vetri. Around 1934, Sicurezza moved to Formia, where he painted religious iconography for local churches. World War II forced him and his family to flee.

Here he met Virginia Mastrogiovanni whom he married in 1934. In the hardest times of the World War II he, his wife, and their four children, fled first into the mountainous caves in Coreno Ausonio, then through the war front in Calabria. After the war, the family returned to Formia. The war had destroyed and damaged the churches in the area, which held many of Sicurezzi's work. Among them were ''Angeli musicanti'' (''Angels Playing Music''), a fresco he painted for the chapel of Our Lady of Pompeii and two oval portraits of depicting Pope Leo XIII and Blessed Bartolo Longo.
