MD is a cardiologist and one of Italy's leading authorities on long-term care and social-health services. He holds an honours degree in Medicine and Surgery and a specialisation in Cardiology from Sapienza University of Rome, later earning a Master's in Health Economics and Management at Tor Vergata. For over twenty years he served as Consultant Cardiologist in Cardiology and Coronary Intensive Care at San Pietro Hospital, Rome.

In 1985 he founded Cooperativa CIR, the first home healthcare provider in the Lazio Region, and from 1988 pioneered telemedicine applications in Italy. He served as Vice President of the UNISAN Consortium since 1990 and, for more than two decades, as Medical Director of an accredited nursing home (RSA) in Lazio, personally leading its response through the most critical phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Capurso is currently National President of ANASTE, the Italian association representing over 250 accredited residential care facilities for long-term care and home care assistance companies. Across nearly forty years, his work has shaped the private social-health welfare system in Italy, anticipating the needs of chronic illness and dependency long before national policy addressed them.
