Rossi's

Rossi's is a traditional historic ice cream parlour and ice-cream manufacturer in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England.

In the 1920s, Fioravanti Figliolini immigrated with his brother Peter and his wife Pasqua to England from Cantù, Lombardy, north of Milan in Italy.

[2] They initially traded as the Figliolini Brothers in Newcastle upon Tyne, before joining forces with Toni Rossi another immigration entrepreneur.

The company was part of a World Record bid in 2014, with an event at Garons Park to get the largest gathering of people eating ice cream.

[5] In January 2020, BBC programme Great British Railway Journeys with Michael Portillo featured Rossi's.
