Gianpaolo Bellini (born June 12, 1935 in Milan ) is an Italian elementary particle physicist and astroparticle physicist.

Bellini obtained a Laureate Degree in Physics from the University of Milan in 1959 , completed his habilitation there in 1967 (Libera Docenza) and received a full professorship there in 1976 (but has taught and researched there since 1960). Since 1960 he has also been associated with the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), on whose council he has been since 1973 and of which he was vice-president in 1988/89.

In the 1970s he was the spokesman for the Serpukhov - CERN experiment 5 (coherent production of high-energy particles in complex nuclei), from 1978 to 1985 he was involved in the FRAMM experiment at the CERN SPS (particles with charm quarks ) and from 1984 to 1992 in corresponding experiments Particles containing charm quark on Fermilab (E400, E687).

From 2001 to 2003 he was a visiting scientist at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso . In 1984/85 he was at CERN.

In 2015 he received the Bruno Pontecorvo Prize for the Borexino neutrino experiment in Gran Sasso, which was used to observe solar neutrinos of low energy. From 1990 to 2011 he was the spokesman for the Borexino collaboration.

From 2009 he is a member of the Lombard Academy of Sciences (Istituto Lombardo). From 1980 to 1983 he was on the Council of the European Physical Society and from 1983 to 1986 on the European Committee for Future Accelerators.
