Born in Rome, Italian capital, Caprari started his career at Atletico 2000.[1] He then joined esordienti team of A.S. Roma in 2003. He played for Roma's Allievi Nazionali team at 2010 Torneo Città di Arco, which beat Fiorentina in the final.[2]

Caprari made his first team debut on 8 March 2011, in 2010–11 UEFA Champions League round of 16. He replaced Simone Perrotta in the last minute; his team lost to Shakhtar Donetsk with a 0–3 score.[3]

In the next season he played both legs of the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League play-off round, losing to Slovan Bratislava. He played only one match in Serie A in 2011–12 season, substituting Totti in a 2–0 win over Chievo.

Pescara

In June 2012 Pescara purchased Caprari in a co-ownership deal for €1.2 million.[5][6] On 20 June 2013, Roma re-signed him for €2 million[7][8] by means of a player swap, with Giammario Piscitella and Matteo Politano moving to Pescara for €2 million.[9][10] Caprari played his first match of his second Roma career on 10 November 2013, against Sassuolo coming on as a substitute.

On 24 January 2014, Caprari returned to Pescara by swapped clubs with Piscitella (both were tagged for €1.5 million)[11][12]

On 27 June 2015, Roma bought back Politano for €601,000, with Caprari moved to Pescara outright for €125,000.[13][14]
