Actually I think it is Capitaneo, which I see as a surname on the Italian search engine.

Although the surname Capitaneo does not currently exist in the town of Toritto, it does currently exist in the province of Bari. You can search in the current Italian white pages- http://www.paginebianche.it/index_en.html

to see two entries in the province of Bari, or you can search on www.virgilio.it to see additional info.
