General Description

Giovanni Bellni, born in 1430 was an Italian Renaissance painter who revolutionized Venetian painting, making it more sensuous and colorful. He was one of the first to use the clear, slow drying oil paints that had just been developed. As he created deep, rich tints and detailed shadings, his painted enduring religious works and sumptuous, grand landscapes. During his lifetime, his work outshone that of his rivals. Vincenzo Salvator Carmelo Francesco Bellini, born in 1801, was an Italian who composed the operas La Sonnambula, Norma and I puritani. Known for long flowing melodies, Bellini was called the Swan of Catania. He was he quintessential composer of Bel cano opera. Between 1934 and 1948, Guiseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry's Bar in Venice, created a signature special-occasion cocktail: a mixture of sparkling wine, traditionally Prosecco and peach puree. Because the pink drink reminded Cipriani of the color of the toga of a saint in a painting by Giovanni Bellini, he named the drink the Bellini. It has become one of Italy's most popular cocktails. It's our favorite, too. Please enjoy a taste....
