Corbelletto was born in 1956 in Biella, Italy. She trained as an artist in Italy, studying at the University of Milan. She arrived in New Zealand in 1981, after which she spent the next six years working as an art restorer. Corbeletto moved her studio to the Corban Estate Arts Centre around the year 2004. In 2005, Corbelletto unveiled Numbers Are the Language of Nature, a sculpture in the Auckland Domain commissioned as a part of Outdoor Sculpture 2001, to create a sculpture walk within the Domain. The maquette of the sculpture is held at Auckland War Memorial Museum. Corbeletto's 1001 Spheres was unveiled in 2023 in Monte Cecilia Park, Auckland, to mark 125 years of women's suffrage in New Zealand.

Art historian Michael Dunn feels that Corbelletto's works occupy "a position somewhere between abstraction and figuration".
