Valentino Bellucci

[5] After studying with the Orientalist Icilio Vecchiotti, he dedicated himself to the oriental culture, especially to the Vaishnava Bhakti tradition, exploring the epistemological, historical and psychological aspects.

[9][10] His poems were recited by the actor Walter Maestosi and He has participated in and directed several films [11] He died from a heart attack on 16 December 2021, at the age of 46 at the Torrette regional hospital in Ancona.

[12] Bellucci developed the existential themes of mysticism, both in the Western philosophical and religious tradition and in the Vaishnava Bhakti one; in the essay “Lo yoga devozionale indiano” (The Indian devotional yoga) he explains the social importance of the spirituality as existential journey rather than as institutionalized dogma.

[13][14] Furthermore, he investigated the origins of Christianity, inspired by the work of Mario Canciani, identifying lost lifestyles and teachings.

In this sense his investigation continued following in the footsteps of scholars as Jean Servier and Marcel de Corte.
