In January 2010 Caroppo left for the reserve of Palermo for free, with option to co-own the player for €500,000.[3] He played 9 games in half-season and all 3 games in the playoffs, ahead Francesco Di Gregorio. The club was eliminated in the quarter-finals.

Caroppo left for Hellas Verona F.C. along with Marco Martina Rini and Fabrizio Paghera.[4] The Veneto club signed Caroppo in co-ownership deal for a nominal fee of €250.[5] Caroppo played for Verona in 2010–11 Coppa Italia Lega Pro.[6] In June 2011 Caroppo returned to Brescia in 2-year contract for a peppercorn of €250.[5][7]
