Bruno Chinellato was born in Mestre on November 1, 1946.
He started playing for Mestre in Serie C and after three seasons signed for Alessandria again in the third tier. In 1970 he signed for Lazio. He was a backup midfielder and as a consequence did not play very much with the first eleven (just 6 league appearances, with one goal, plus four in the Cup of the Alps), but he did play quite a lot in the De Martino Championship with the reserves. Lazio won the competition, beating Milan in the final. The Biancocelesti also won the Cup of the Alps even though in Serie A they did not do well, ending up relegated to Serie B.
In 1971-72 he was loaned to Lecco in Serie C where he played well with 38 appearances and 10 goals. At the end of the season, he was sold to Como in Serie B. His stay in the second tier ended a year later when he moved to Salernitana in Serie C. After two years he left for Grosseto, again in the third tier. After two years in Tuscany, he signed with Giulianova and ended his career with Sorrento in Serie C2 from 1978 to 1980.
Once he stopped playing, he became a manager with minor teams in the Grosseto area. In 1984 he was chosen as head coach for Grosseto but stayed just a year.
He died on September 4, 2008, in Massa Carrara.
Despite not playing much, at Lazio he at least managed to win two trophies, so his name is in the history books.
