History
Created by Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry's Bar in Venice, sometime between 1934 and 1948. The drink's pink hue reminded Cipriani of the colors of the 15th-century Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini, and that is where the name comes from. At first it was a seasonal drink, served only when white peaches were in season.
