Chapelle Bellini

The Chapelle Bellini was well-known painter Emmanuel Bellini's studio, and houses an exhibition of some of his works. Built in the late 19th century by Comte Vitali, the chapel was part of the Villa Fiorentina and was once home to the Princess of Serbia. A Cannes native, Bellini later purchased the chapel and converted it in to his studio.

In Italian Baroque style, the chapel features a clock tower, an exterior embellished with "gingerbread" and statues, Comte Vitali’s coat of arms, and an inside gallery with a restored wooden staircase.  It is a real artistic and architectural delight.

Practical Info

The historic and serene chapel is situated in peaceful Fiorentina Park and still exhibits the artistic influences of the colorful Bellini. His daughter, also an artist, still lives there today and often shows visitors around the chapel.
