Ciao, I’m Rossella.
Usually the loud one in the room and often wearing a hat. 

I moved from Italy to Scotland 12 years ago. It was meant to be 6 months to learn English, and I never really left. When I arrived, I didn’t know anyone. I lived in a hostel for a while and figured things out as I went. I was an immigrant then, and I still am so please don’t call me an expat.

I have a degree in Intercultural Communication and studied languages, with a strong interest in anthropology, sociology, ethnography and linguistics - that’s where my curiosity for different cultures and community really started. But most of what I know comes from working in hospitality. I started on the floor (barely speaking English) learning quickly how much details shape how something feels.

Over time, I moved into brand marketing, PR and creative roles, working across hospitality and lifestyle between the UK and Italy - building identities, shaping activations and bringing ideas to life.
In 2019 I co-founded Bleach Please, a salon and Prosecco bar in Edinburgh, where I led creative direction. It went on to win Best New Business at the Italian Awards and led to collaborations with Holyrood Palace during the largest-ever exhibition of Leonardo Da Vinci in Scotland. This was my first entrepreneurial experience. We closed due to COVID, sadly but it was a great opportunity for my career.

I later worked for hospitality and lifestyle brands, including The Hoxton in Florence and Edinburgh, focusing on brand marketing and PR, pre-openings and launch strategies, partnerships and cultural programming.

Alongside this, I write about food and drink, culture and heritage for international publications, and founded The Pasta Magazine (a hobby project born from my love for pasta - now paused but who knows, maybe I’ll re-launch it one day?). Every now and then, I cut up vintage magazines and turn them into collage. 
My experience is what shapes Petta Studios.

If you have something in mind - let’s chat.

A little dinner we put together for @pocca_uk bringing Edinburgh’s food and creative community together for a proper introduction to the brand.
From guestlist strategy and PR outreach to event production, the idea was simple: get the right people in the room, create a good experience and let the conversations happen naturally. Focaccia and Negronis helped, obviously.

Introductions are boring, so here’s the useful bit. I’m Rossella, and through Petta Studios I work on launches, creative campaigns, shoots and events - from hotel openings to fashion launches and moments that bring people together (often over drinks and a tasty bite).

If you’ve got a project you need a hand with, or you’re a creative who fancies connecting, come say ciao!

It’s not about filling a room. It’s about getting the right people in it. Artists, designers, makers, creatives, friends, old faces and new ones. 
@petta_studios curated a guestlist around @emilymillichip and the world she’s created, bringing together an existing community and introducing some new faces to it.

PAGAN is now out in the world.
A few months working with @emilymillichip on the launch of her new collection - PR, partnerships, guestlist, launch planning and bringing the right people into the room. Three days at @traade_space in Portobello with a very good crowd.

PAGAN took a village. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped bring the collection and pop up to life.

Klaudia for her constant hard work and high vibes in the studio. Senga for manufacturing support and Fiona for screen printing.

Our collaborators Akvile Su, Jaap Prins, Biscocho, and S.K Works for creating such beautiful pieces.

Petta Studios for PR, 3C Productions for capturing it on film, Traade for giving it a home, Nathan for photos on the night, and Solas Signs for our shiny window graphics.

Alix for photographing the collection and being my unofficial design consultant, Emlyn for his help digitising my scrawl and being my unofficial graphic design consultant.

Kyle for designing such beautiful cocktails, and Arbikie, Mother Root and Bruh for keeping everyone fed and watered.

To pals Aimee, Steph and Cerys who gave their time, help and support when needed, and to my studio crew for all of their help on the night, and for the many months before.

And finally, to everyone who visited the pop up, bought something, raised a glass of tattie vodka, and entered this weird little world of potatoes and fashion and fields and art. My heart is full.

Online launch next! Em x
