Corbellini was born in 1901 in Piacenza, Italy, the fourth of twelve children of Celeste Corbellini and his wife Giuseppina Gazzola. He began art lessons there at a young age. At thirteen, he joined the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Brera Academy in Milan, and after that the Albertina in Turin. In 1920, when Corbellini was nineteen, the Desclée de Brouwer publishing firm of Bruges announced an international painting competition which he won with a portrait of the Madonna. He was then taken on in the firm's lithograph studio. He arrived in Bruges speaking no French, which he had to learn. He also studied painting with Flori van Acker. He worked for Desclée de Brouwer until 1923 and later noted that this was the only job he had ever had. In 1923, Corbellini moved to Paris and took a room in a boarding house in Montmartre, waiting for a place at the Bateau-Lavoir. A year later, he was able to take a studio which had once been occupied by Pablo Picasso. In the summer of 1924, Corbellini was painting scenes in Deauville, where one day his work was admired by Robert de Rothschild, who invited him to paint the portrait of his daughter. This led on to other work. Boni de Castellane commissioned him to paint all of his horses, and Corbellini was able to move from Montmartre to Montparnasse. By 1928, Corbellini was exhibiting work at the salon of the Société des Artistes Indépendants, later at the Salon des Tuileries, Salon d'Automne, and others. His paintings continued to be exhibited in Parisian galleries until the 1960s. He is of the generation of the Ecole de Paris, School of Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe became a painter of floral compositions, portraits, landscapes, cityscapes and genre scenes. He was also\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eknown for his sculpture. In 1941, during the Second World War, with Maurice Dufrêne, Pierre Gandon, Gérard Cochet, and others Corbellini was one of the few painters and sculptors who received the higher rate of 10,000 Francs from the City of Paris to compensate artists and intellectuals for loss of income. In 1947 Corbellini moved to New York City. American art dealer Wally Findlay, of Wally Findlay Galleries began to represent Corbellini, bringing his Parisian paintings to America and showing them in his galleries in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

He had exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Palm Beach, Caracas, Tahiti, Hong Kong, and Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExhibitions France Galerie Carmine, Paris: 1927, 1928, 1930, 1931 Galerie Armand Drouant, Paris: 1931, 1933 Galerie Barreiro, Paris: 1932, 1934, 1936 Galerie Borghèse, Paris: 1935 Galerie Charpentier, Paris: 1937 Galerie Dalpayrat, Limoges: 1937 Galerie Grand, Lausanne: 1937 Galerie Aktuaryus, Strasbourg: 1938 Galerie Chardin, Paris: 1944, 1945 Galerie Jouffroy, Paris: 1944 Galerie d'Orsel, Paris: 1945 Galerie Mignon-Massard, Nantes: 1945 Galerie Drouant-David, Paris: 1948 Galerie Bonval, Paris: 1949 Galerie J.
