Maybe there's a more efficient way, but this should work.
\def\spezza#1#2\endname{\gdef\prima{#1}\gdef\RESTO{#2}}
\def\minuscolizza#1\endname{\lowercase{\gdef\resto{#1}}}
\def\maiuscolizza#1\endname{\uppercase{\gdef\prima{#1}}}
\def\capitalize#1{%
\spezza#1\endname%
\expandafter\minuscolizza\RESTO\endname%
\expandafter\maiuscolizza\prima\endname%
\prima\resto}
% test
\capitalize{pippo}
\capitalize{PLUTO}
