In September 2015, Caldara/Caputo competed at two 2015–16 ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) events, placing tenth at both. In February, they finished ninth in the pairs' event at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics in Hamar, Norway.[3] They were sixth in the team event, skating as members of Team Courage.

Caldara/Caputo placed ninth at their JGP assignment in Belarus, then took gold at the Volvo Open Cup, held in November in Latvia. The latter was their final competition as a pair. They were coached by Tiziana Pagani in Milan.[4]

Caldara skated the next three seasons with Marco Santucci in senior pairs. The two made their international debut in February 2019, placing sixth at the Open Ice Mall Cup in Israel.

The following season, Caldara/Santucci skated at two Challenger Series events, placing 20th at both, and then finished fourth at the Italian Championships. In February 2020, they placed tenth at the Bavarian Open.

In their third and final season together, they made no international appearances. In December 2020, they withdrew from the Italian Championships after placing fourth in the short program.[5]
