Biography

edit

Vicenza & loans

edit

Born in Bovolone, the Province of Verona, Veneto, Scapini started his career at Veneto side Vicenza. In mid-2003 he left for SPAL and in January 2004 back to Veneto for Belluno.[1] In July 2004 he left for Piedmont side Valenzana.[2] In July 2005 he was transferred to Pro Vercelli, also in Piedmont and Serie C2.[3] In January 2006 returned to Valenza, also from Serie C2/A.[4]

edit

In August 2006 he was sold to Veneto side PortoSummaga in co-ownership deal.[5] In January 2007 he was loaned to fellow Serie C2 Group A side Montichiari,[6] which he played the both matches against PortoSummaga in relegation "play-out", as the losing side. In June 2007 Vicenza gave up the remain 50% registration rights but Scapini was sold to Serie C2/A side Cuneo in July (also a Piedmont side), after PortoSummaga reassigned to Group B. He scored a career record of 22 goals, over half of the team scored. However, Cuneo also relegated by losing the relegation "play-out" matches. He scored one goal and the team losing in 1–2 to Valenzana in aggregate. In June both clubs failed to agree the price on the remain 50% rights and they both submitted its figure to Lega Pro to decide. On 27 June Lega Pro announced that PortoSummaga acquired him.[7]

Despite the team later re-admitted to Seconda Divisione and renamed as Pro Vercelli, the team did not buy Scapini.
