Club career

Pettinari was born in Rome, and made his debut for Roma first team on 16 December 2009, in an UEFA Europa League game against PFC CSKA Sofia.[1] Then he made his Serie A debut on 20 March 2010, when he came on as a substitute for Jérémy Menez in the 87th minute of the game against Udinese.

He spent the first part of the 2010–11 season on loan to Serie B club Siena, but he didn't find any occasion to play so in January 2011 he came back to Roma, where he trained with the first team.

In July 2011 he was sent on loan to Serie B club Crotone for the 2011–12 season. On 17 September 2011 he scored his first league goal in the home match won 2–1 against Empoli. In June 2012 Crotone excised the option to buy him in a co-ownership deal for €250,000.[2] In June 2014 he returned to Roma for €500,000.[3]

On 24 July 2015 he was signed by Vicenza.[4] He wore no.9 shirt for 2015–16 Serie B, but on 5 September given to Nicola Pozzi. Pettinari took no.20 shirt from Srđan Spiridonović instead.[5] On 13 January 2016 he was signed by Como on loan.[6] He scored 2 goals in 14 appearances in the Serie B.

On 25 August 2016 he moved to Pescara, this time on a permanent basis. He made his second Serie A appearance on 19 November 2016 against Juventus at the Juventus Stadium. He played in 6 matches before being sent to Serie B club Ternana on loan in January 2017. He was a key figure in Ternana's team that managed to avoid relegation to Serie C.

Pettinari came back to Pescara at the start of the 2017–18 Serie B season and immediately gained a place in the starting line up. He scored 13 goals in 38 appearances in the Serie B and 1 goal in 2 appearances in the Coppa Italia.

On 28 June 2018 he was signed by Serie B side Lecce on a permanent basis.[7] On 28 January 2019 he returned to Crotone on loan.[8]

On 17 June 2020 he joined Trapani on a permanent basis.[9]

On 13 October 2020, soon after Trapani was excluded from all professional leagues, Pettinari returned to Lecce.[10]

International career

He has already played for U-16, U-17 and U-19 national teams.
