First of all, the actual name you are looking for is "A. Santini," for Antelma Santini (1896- ??). She is sometimes identified as "Antelema Santini," although this spelling is incorrect. Values can vary widely, depending on what it is you actually have. An original Antelma Santini sculpture would be quite rare, and as such, if in good condition, would be expected to auction quite well. The last time an original sold at auction was fairly long ago, back in 1987. This was a sculpture of Pauline Borghese, listed through Christie's, and even then it closed at a very nice $4500. In today's marketplace, which remains fairly flat, one might still expect the amount for a similar sculpture to at least double that price. If you believe you have a contemporary piece, actually made by the artist's own hand, then you really need to get a serious, in-person appraisal.
If, instead, you believe you have a modern reproduction (these are usually comparatively small, next to the larger originals), which can be anything from a highly decorous sculpture made of good, quality ivory, alabaster, or Carrera marble, to inexpensive pieces made from lesser grade, resin materials, auction prices would vary. One might expect as much as $500 for the better modern pieces, and less than $50 for the lesser produced ones. This is a quick showing of the lesser A. Santini sculptures currently available at retail prices online (these are the ones that would auction for the aforementioned "lesser" values):
