With over two decades of expertise in the events industry, Marcella boasts a remarkable career, with 14 years dedicated to the exclusive world of luxury events. Throughout her career, she has finely tuned her skills, showcasing an exceptional ability to orchestrate events flawlessly, collaborating with some of the foremost planners worldwide. Marcella’s professional experience includes a significant tenure at the prestigious Borgo Egnazia in Puglia, Italy. Here, she had the privilege of contributing to extraordinary events in collaboration with top event planners globally. This experience not only enriched her portfolio but also facilitated the establishment of enduring relationships with vendors and industry professionals, extending well beyond the culmination of each event. The invaluable partnerships forged during her time at Borgo Egnazia allowed Marcella to absorb best practices, harvest insights, and adopt expert tips and tricks from the industry’s elite. This wealth of knowledge has become instrumental in executing seamless, stress-free events, marked by an infectious spirit of joy and fun. A testament to her success is the roster of legacy clients who have entrusted Marcella and her team with crafting extraordinary events across Italy and beyond. From North to South, and even to the exotic setting of Morocco, Marcella’s commitment to meeting her clients’ needs knows no bounds. Wherever the event may be, Marcella brings her wealth of experience and dedication to ensure an unforgettable and joyful celebration.
Innovative hotelier and curious traveller, Aldo Melpignano is the quiet backbone of Momentum and Founder and Managing Director of Egnazia Ospitalità Italiana.
In 2007, Aldo followed the call of his Puglian roots and decided to return to Europe to devote himself to the family business that had developed in the meantime. Splitting his time and efforts between London and Puglia, he embarked on the most ambitious family venture: Borgo Egnazia, an innovative destination that has gradually been changing the face of travel and wellbeing in a previously undiscovered region.
Officially the first Events Director of Borgo Egnazia, Aldo worked closely with Marcella and the team to build an office that was much more than a classic Banqueting office, instilling passion and an uncanny eye for detail he opened up the pathway to creating memorable and seamless events.
Under Aldo’s watchful eye, the Events team not only executed flawless events but also curated immersive experiences that left a lasting impression on guests. He pioneered the concept of blending tradition with international events. Today, Aldo is also Vice President with responsibility for the hospitality area of Altagamma while also launching the Egnazia group: supporting the development of territories and people through an innovative vision of hospitality.

what they say
about us
“An absolute master at infusing local crafts, cuisine, and culture, into the very personal ‘art of celebration’, Marcella’s talent echoes that of the famed ricamatrice of Puglia—the meticulous embroiderers of the area—by weaving the colors, emotions, and stories of her clients and culture, Marcella creates masterpieces time and time again.”
David Beahm Experiences – New York
“From the moment I met Marcella, it was clear that she was the ultimate creative problem solver. Clearly I wasn’t alone in that assessment as Momentum was developed as a response to so many of her planner and production colleagues relying on her expertise for assistance.
I can’t think of a more efficient way to expand my overseas team!”
Marcy Blum Events – New York
“Working with Marcella was one of the best destination planning experiences my team and I have had: she is the ultimate professional, responsive, knowledgeable and extremely well connected to various vendors which allowed for a smoother and easier planning process for our entire team. Our clients loved working with her and we cannot wait to onboard another project together”
Bianca Blag – New York
“Marcella has a unique quality of being just the right amount of a professional and then throw in loads of laughter and that warm nice feeling , when you know you are talking to someone who knows her job and will make things happen.
Marcella is a connector, an enabler, she will always help you connect with the right people, the right person for a job. Ask her for help and if she can, she will!
Over the years we have worked together, we battle, we argue but we always find a solution.
Once you are in her domain, she takes charge and nudges you in the right direction, gently but firmly.
I have enjoyed working with her because she just does not leave a gap for anything. The loop must be closed. Decisions must happen …. I like that.”
