HE WAS A PAINTER AND SCULPTOR AND LIVED AND WORKED IN SCISCIANO (NA). HE ATTENDED ART HIGH SCHOOL AS A STUDENT OF CARLO STRICCOLI AND MANLIO GIARRIZZO. LATER HE ATTENDED THE ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS IN NAPLES, WHERE HE HAD AS TEACHERS IMPORTANT ARTISTS SUCH AS ALESSANDRO MONTELEONE AND A. REGA. HAVING COMPLETED HIS STUDIES, HE WAS PART OF THE “GRUPPO SUD,” ALONG WITH GIOVANNI AMOROSO, ADRIANA ARTIACO, RENATO BARISANI, ENZO DE FELICE, RENATO DE FUSCO, ARMANDO DE STEFANO, VERA DE VEROLI, ALFREDO FLORIO, DOMENICO GARGIULO, PIETRO GUIDA, RAFFAELE LIPPI, VINCENZO MONTEFUSCO, FEDERICO STARNONE, MARIO TARCHETTI, GUIDO TATAFIORE, AND ANTONIO VENDITTI. WAS A GROUP OF ARTISTS, SOME OF INTERNATIONAL RENOWN, WHO BY BREAKING WITH TRADITION ACCEPTED AVANT-GARDE ARTISTIC TRENDS SUCH AS ABSTRACTIONISM AND CUBISM. LATER CAPASSO BECAME ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF FIGURE AND ORNAMENT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL OF ART IN NAPLES. DETACHING HIMSELF LATER FROM THE “SOUTH GROUP” AND ABSTRACTIONISM, WHICH HE FELT WAS NOT CONGENIAL TO HIS SPIRIT, HE DEVOTED HIMSELF COMPLETELY TO FIGURATIVE ART. BY CHARACTER HE PREFERRED TO WITHDRAW FROM THE “SCENES” AND REMAIN IN A KIND OF ISOLATION; NEVERTHELESS, HE PARTICIPATED IN NUMEROUS NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS, AND HIS STUDIO WAS VERY POPULAR. IN FACT, FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS, HE FREELY AND LOVINGLY FOLLOWED MANY YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WERE APPROACHING ART, SOME OF WHOM ARE NOW ESTABLISHED ARTISTS. EMINENT FIGURES IN POLITICS, ART AND CULTURE CAME TO VISIT HIM, AS WELL AS ORDINARY ADMIRERS ATTRACTED BY THE BEAUTY OF HIS WORKS AND HIS SHARP AND VERSATILE PERSONALITY. HIS WORKS ARE FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH COLLECTORS. FAMOUS IS THE COLLECTION OF HIS PAINTINGS IN MONACO DE BAVARIA. IN 2022 A MAJOR COMMEMORATIVE EXHIBITION WAS HELD IN SCISCIANO ON THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MASTER'S BIRTH. ALWAYS THE TOWN OF SCISCIANO HONORS HIS MEMORY EVERY YEAR WITH THE “CICCIO CAPASSO PRIZE” DEDICATED TO YOUNG EMERGING ARTISTS.
