[edit]Born in Lecce, Apulia, southern Italy, Caroppo started his career at northern Italy club Brescia Calcio.

Caroppo left for Olbia in July 2009.[2]
In January 2010 Caroppo left for the reserve of Palermo on a free loan, with option to co-own the player for €500,000.[3] He played 9 games in half-season and all 3 games in the playoffs, ahead Francesco Di Gregorio. The club was eliminated in the quarter-finals in the playoffs round of the reserve league. At the end of season Caroppo returned to Brescia.
Caroppo left for Hellas Verona F.C. along with Marco Martina Rini and Fabrizio Paghera in July 2010.[4] The Veneto club signed Caroppo in a co-ownership deal for a nominal fee of €250.[5] Caroppo played for Verona in 2010–11 Coppa Italia Lega Pro.[6] In June 2011 Caroppo returned to Brescia in 2-year contract for a peppercorn of €250.[5][7]
