About Us
Bellina Gallery was born from the passion of Master Floral Artist Fiorenzo Bellina and Brand & Product Consultant Marta Bellina for the NoesiArte. Beauty is not opinable, and it is the lifeblood for the Human Being who wants to understand his own existence.
NoesiArte is the art movement started by Marcello Bruognolo, who, with his unique background in the humanities, works to bring art back to beauty, going against the trend of today’s ugly designer stuff. It’s the result of 60 years of artistic creation.
Integral beauty allows the reintroduction of noetic content, essential for living art that coaches human beings in their positive, evolutionary, healthy, and successful function.
A great experimenter and aesthete, the artist does not limit himself to a single technique or field of application: he paints on canvas, ceramics, and porcelain, and creates sculptures in crystal, iron, and marble. He plays and composes music. He knows and implements Italian haute cuisine. He maintains constant research where the hand of man rediscovers the meaning of Everlasting Humanism.
Noesi – derived from the ancient Greek νόησις (nóēsis), meaning “act of the intellect,” “intellectual knowledge,” or “intuition,” is a philosophical concept that denotes the activity of direct and intuitive intellectual thought, the ability to understand the essence of things without the need of thinking that’s far from the sublime nature of art.

Marcello Bruognolo
Class of 1950, Roman by birth, landed in Milan in the late 1980s, cosmopolitan by nature.
Passionate about art since the age of 16, he trained artistically at the school of Master Rodolfo Monaco from whom he learned (and then customized and perfected) the technique of the soils that unmistakably characterizes his artistic expression. He pursued humanistic studies earning two degrees:Psychology and Modern Languages. He has worked as a psychotherapist and consultant, but has never abandoned art where he rediscovers the pleasure of creativity of the deepest part of himself.
Marco
Gazza
He was born near Milan in 1977.
His marked sensitivity for the visual arts was concretely revealed in 2000, when his passion for images became a job. He began his journey by working with important international photographers, through whom he deepened and perfected photographic method and technique. Exploring photography on sets around the world led him to discover his elective tool: light, its power to sculpt figures and create atmospheres. To illuminate an image, to characterize it in tone is to give Marco meaning. His natural propensity for simplifying compositions and recurring graphics tell a new contemporary elegance. Elegance and style are always evolving in his mind.
Some of the clients he works for: Balenciaga, Lancôme, Bvlgari, Damiani, Pomellato, Louis Vuitton, Ferragamo, Gianvito Rossi, Dolce&Gabbana, Santoni, Amica, IoDonna, Icon Magazine, Document Journal, Officiel Hommes ediz. Ita, Officiel Hommes ediz.Fra, Armani, Valentino, Moncler, Bally, Corneliani, Caovilla, Tod’s.
MARBLE:
metaphysical conversation
An unprecedented project born from the collaboration between
Fiorenzo Bellina and Marta Bellina, the soul and vision of the
Gallery, and the Milanese photographer Marco Gazza.
A visual research that restores centrality to marble, freeing it from its traditional functional roles to give it back a pure aesthetic dimension, made of light, forms and contemplation.
The Municipality of Pietrasanta has granted its patronage, by virtue of its cultural value and commitment to highlighting one of the city’s symbolic materials: marble. A contemporary tribute to a millennial tradition, which continues to inspire art, craftsmanship and thought.At the center of the exhibition are 10 “photographic sculptures,” framed by the historic Milanese workshop Mauro Telò, signed by Gazza, in which stone becomes the subject and interlocutor of an intimate visual conversation.
The artist-photographer chooses Manola Casciano to accompany him on the set. Also making the project possible was the involvement of two historic artisan workshops in the area: Galeotti Marmi (Paolo and Francesco Galeotti) and A.G.E. Marmi of Giovanni Antonucci, based in Pietrasanta and Valdicastello Carducci, respectively. The artisans provided material, space and knowledge to shape marble blocks and fragments according to the compositional needs of the artist.
THE NEW AESTHETIC ART
Art yes, but which Art?
It is not the art movements, styles and formal approaches that matter but the message of life that is inherent in a work. When we speak of the spirit, the transcendent, the divine, we always mean the best part of the human being, his potential intelligence that is devoted to perfection even in historical action.
“The Human Being is art and cannot disregard being art, in making or enjoying art he understands, reflects that he is, encounters his own uniqueness.”
It is a vision of “modern” art that goes against the trend, as it does not accept the ease of exposing human pathologies as open wounds, but exalts Human Being appreciating his existential condition and perception of the world.
The aim is to bring Art back to Beauty, reversing the fashion that today proposes the ugly branded. Fidelity to this noetic inspiration formalizes Aesthetic Art, which can be recognized by the good user. He who through the visible aesthetic effect, can understand the whole path realized since he is human instinct as the artist.
Two individuals who find themselves at the departure of themselves.
PIETRASANTA
Pietrasanta is a truly unique place in Italy.
For centuries, it has been home to the Art of forging and sculpting—of mastering materials as beautiful and rare as they are challenging to shape and tame.
Today, this town welcomes Art without prejudice and deserves to reclaim its role as a center of authentic and innovative creativity.
Starting from July 2024, Galleria Bellina will offer Art classes.
Education is essential to bring clarity to today’s complex artistic landscape.
