Capitello is a southern Italian village and hamlet (frazione) of Ispani, a municipality in the province of Salerno, Campania.

[1] The village, whose name means "capital" (the architectural element) in Italian,[2] was a municipality before 1861, when it became a hamlet of Ispani.

It stretches along the Cilentan Coast, by the Tyrrhenian Sea, between the nearby villages of Policastro and Villammare (both 3 km far).

It is 2 km far from Ispani, 4 from San Cristoforo, 6 from Santa Marina and Vibonati and 7 from Sapri.

Crossed by the national highway SS18 in the middle, and by the railway line linking Naples and Salerno to Reggio Calabria, Capitello had a minor train station closed in early 2000s.
