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]
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 re-assigned 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]
However he was sold to newly relegated Prima Divisione (ex- Serie C1) team Hellas Verona[8] in July, in another co-ownership deal,[9] his second Prima Divisione club since he left SPAL 4½ years ago. He only able to score 3 league goals, and in June PortoSummaga gave up the remain 50% registration rights to Verona.[10] In August he returned to Seconda Divisione for Pro Belvedere Vercelli, which also represented the comune of Vercelli.[11] The team relegated and he only scored 3 goals. Despite the team later re-admitted to Seconda Divisione and renamed as Pro Vercelli, the team did not buy Scapini.
In 2010–11 season, he only added 4 more games to his Prima Divisione career. He also suspended 1 month and 10 days by FIGC[12] for employed a un-registered agent Alessandro D'Amico during the suspension of Andrea D'Amico, both from the company P.D.P. srl, in his transfer to P.B. Vercelli; Verona won the promotion play-offs and Scapini was released along with Robert Anderson, Stefano Garzon and Andy Selva.[13]
