Football career
Belleri started his career at Lumezzane. He played in Serie A for Empoli in the 2002–03 season. When Empoli failed to protect his place in 2004, Belleri, Di Natale and Cribari were sold to Udinese in a co-ownership deal, with Almirón and Nomvethe moving in the opposite direction. Emílson and Belleri were sold to S.S. Lazio the next year. Belleri signed a 4-year contract in another co-ownership deal for €250,000. In June 2006, Belleri, Cribari, Goran Pandev and Stefano Mauri were acquired outright from Udinese for €400,000, €3 million, €4 million and €3 million respectively.
In the mid-2007, Belleri was loaned to Atalanta B.C.. After the game against AC Milan on 25 January 2009, Bologna F.C. 1909 announced the signing of Belleri on loan.
He joined Lecce on 31 August 2009 on free transfer.
