Antonio Aldo Caracciolo (born 30 June 1990) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie B club Pisa.

Career

Caracciolo was a youth product of Lombard club Inter Milan. He was a player of the under-16 team in 2005–06 season.[2] Caracciolo then left for fellow Lombard club A.C. Pavia, at first on loan.[3] He made his professional debut in the second half of 2007–08 Serie C2 season.

On 29 January 2010, A.S. Bari signed the defender on loan until 30 June 2010.[4] He was selected as a substitute once under coach Giampiero Ventura, on 16 May 2010, but did not come off the bench.

Genoa

On 20 July 2010, he was signed by Genoa.[5] He left the club on loan with Gubbio.

In July 2011 he was loaned to Gubbio again but suffered a minor injury in pre-season.[6]

Brescia

In summer 2012 Caracciolo was farmed to Serie B club Brescia Calcio on a four-year contract on a co-ownership deal.[7] The club acquired half of the registration rights of the player for a peppercorn fee.[8] In June 2013 Brescia acquired Caracciolo outright.[7][9][10]

On 19 July 2013, Caracciolo was transferred to Lega Pro Prima Divisione club U.S. Cremonese on a temporary deal. The club also had an option to sign him outright.[11][12]

In summer 2014 Caracciolo returned to Brescia, entering the first team squad again.

On 1 December 2015, Caracciolo signed a new contract with Brescia, adding two more year to his contract.[13] However, he was sold in summer 2016.

Verona

On 11 August 2016, Caracciolo was signed by Hellas Verona F.C.[14][15] He was extremely criticized for this by the Brescia's supporters because Brescia and Verona are huge rivals.[16] After playing 33 matches he gave his contributions to help Verona to get back to Serie A after 2016 relegation. He made his Serie A debut in a home 0–0 against U.C. Sampdoria where he played the full 90 minutes. He scored his first goal in Serie A (and for Verona) in a surprising 3–0 home win against A.C. Milan.[17][18]

On 10 March 2018, he scored the winning goal in a 1–0 win in the Derby della Scala against Chievo.[19]

Cremonese

On 16 January 2019, Caracciolo joined to Cremonese on loan with an obligation to buy.[20]

On 27 January 2020, he signed with Pisa.[21]
