Antonio Capuano (born 9 April 1940) is an Italian film director and screenwriter.
[1] After a long apprenticeship in television as a set designer (working on, amongst other things, the television series Sheridan, squadra omicidi), Capuano debuted in the world of cinema.
Success came in 1996 with the film Pianese Nunzio, 14 anni a maggio, which tells the story of a young altar boy abused by his parish priest.
He also directed segments in the collective films L'unico paese al mondo (1994) and I vesuviani (1997), and then Giallo?
Ciro Capano portrays a semi-fictionalized version of Capuano in Paolo Sorrentino's 2021 film The Hand of God.
