On 29 January 2010 A.S. Bari signed the defender on loan until 30 June 2010. 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. 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.

Brescia
In summer 2012 Caracciolo was farmed to Serie B club Brescia Calcio on a 4-year contract on a co-ownership deal. The club acquired half of the registration rights of the player for a peppercorn fee. In June 2013 Brescia acquired Caracciolo outright.

Verona

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.
