Professor Bellini teaches Sociology of Communication, Sociology of the Media, Sociology of Educational and Communicative Processes, and Sound Management Laboratory in Multimedia Products. Recently publishing The Creative Gesture: Contexts, Processes, Actors of Creativity in 2024, the central themes of his research focus on the study of two cultural processes: expressiveness linked to symbolic dynamics (particularly those of a creative nature) and the educational processes that underlie the construction of identity.

Over the last several years, he has been working on projects dedicated to the use of technology (virtual reality, augmented reality, and the metaverse) for the enhancement of cultural heritage, publishing. In particular, his upcoming project will introduce artificial intelligence (in the form of an avatar) to guide visitors through the archaeological sites of our region.
