Michele Salvemini (born 9 October 1973), better known by his stage name Caparezza (sometimes written CapaRezza), is an Italian rapper.
==Biography== Caparezza was born in Molfetta, in the southern region of Apulia, on 9 October 1973. Caparezza's mother was a teacher and his father was a worker and former musician, so Michele started playing music as a child. He studied accounting, although he dreamed of writing comics. After completing High School, Michele began to work in advertising, and won a scholarship for the Academy of Media and Journalism in Milan. However, he soon decided to leave the advertising world to fully devote himself to music. In addition, he declared himself atheist and politically near to communist ideology.
