Ciro Capuano (born 10 August 1981) is an Italian former footballer who last played for Serie C club Lucchese as a left back.
During the 2005–2006 Serie B season, Bologna wound up finishing in 8th position, and Capuano made nearly 40 appearances for the club, in all competitions.
Following the sale of Fabio Grosso, Capuano had hope to be the club's starting left back, and made 12 appearances during the first portion of the 2007–2008 Serie A campaign, before the January purchase of former Juventus star, Federico Balzaretti.
His third season started off in the same fashion, and the player eventually transferred to Sicilian rivals, Catania, on loan for the second portion of the 2008–09 campaign.
During the 2009 summer transfer window, Catania chief, Pietro Lo Monaco, made the deal permanent and Capuano remained at the eastern Sicilian club, after displaying impressive form during his loan period.
[1] Following his permanent transfer to Catania, Capuano maintained his starting place for the 2009–10 Serie A season, making 30 appearances, helping his side to a record points total for the club, in Serie A, which led to a 13th-placed finish in the table, as well as a quarter-final position in the Coppa Italia.
