Equal Treatment in the Statute, and the Conditions Somewhere Else
Answer
The general rule applies to you
No exception is recorded for citizens of Antigua and Barbuda on this topic. That is the answer, not a gap - everything below is the rule you get, unchanged.
98 exceptions recorded across 37 countries · none match Antigua and Barbuda to Italy · Residency as a student
The immigration Act's education article is written as a guarantee rather than as a procedure: equal treatment between a foreigner and an Italian citizen in access to technical and higher education courses and to the measures that support the right to study, within the limits the article itself sets. Higher education institutions are told to promote access by foreigners within their autonomy and their budgets. What a student visa and permit require is not in this article.

Standing: Maintains the text in force
Cannot be cited for: It gives the text and not its interpretation. Article 3-bis reads clearly and has still generated years of litigation over what it means, which is why the Constitutional Court is watched alongside it. A consolidated text can also lag a very recent amendment.

Practical notes
This record states what the statute guarantees. A reader who wants the fees, the quotas for foreign applicants or the visa procedure will not find them here, and the record says so rather than filling the gap with a ministry page.
Access to compulsory schooling for minors is a different article of the same Act and is not read here.
