Gianpaolo Bellini

Gianpaolo Bellini plays in the defender role for Atalanta BC. He was born on 27 March 1980 in Sarnico, Italy.

The player’s senior career started in 1998 when he was promoted to the first team of Atalanta BC. The club’s manager periodically placed Gianpaolo in the defensive line in order to test the player’s skills and potential. Fortunately, a young defender possessed all the necessary qualities of a talented player which finally helped him to become one of the key team members. For several seasons Bellini regularly showed up in the starting lineup and since 2000 he has become an effective element of the defense.

From 2000 till 2002 Gianpaolo participated in 15 matches for the Italy U-21 squad.
