Creator Context

Summary

Italian screenwriter, television writer, story editor, documentary director and teacher, David Bellini built a career across mainstream fiction, factual programming and political television. He wrote for successful series including Un medico in famiglia and I Cesaroni, created and directed documentary formats about travel, gardens, history and European monasteries, and served as head writer of La7’s Tetris, a talk show focused on politics and current affairs. Bellini studied political science, founded the cultural association Articolo 21 while at university, and later represented Italian screenwriters in Los Angeles through SACT and Writers Guild Italia. He also taught screenwriting at the Italian Cultural Institute of Los Angeles and other educational institutions. His public record shows cultural and professional-organizing activity, but no sustained activist, partisan, DEI, or identity-politics persona.
