Il Paradiso delle Signore, the beloved Italian period drama, returns for its tenth season in September 2025 on Rai 1, and this year marks a significant shift in its cast lineup. With filming already underway since late May at the Videa Studios in Rome, fans can expect fresh faces, dramatic exits, and surprising twists in the lives of the characters that have come to define the soul of this show. Here’s everything you need to know about the official cast changes: who’s joining, who’s staying, and who won’t return for Season 10.

🌟 New Entries: Welcoming Fresh Characters
This season introduces several new characters that promise to add intrigue and reshape the dynamics at Milan’s most iconic department store.

Simone Montedoro joins the cast as Fulvio Rinaldi, a mysterious and charming man whose arrival is expected to stir both romantic and social tensions. Best known for his role in Don Matteo, Montedoro’s presence signals a bold new direction for the series. Fulvio may become romantically or emotionally involved with Countess Adelaide or disrupt other key relationships within the Paradiso.

Iuliana Calcatinci appears as Caterina Rinaldi, Fulvio’s daughter. Her role is still wrapped in mystery, but she could be a new Venere (store assistant) or part of the younger storyline group, adding a new layer of generational drama.

Elia Marangon takes on the role of Ettore Marchesi, who is believed to be connected to the prestigious Milano Moda Gallery. His character may introduce new professional rivalries or alliances that could impact the business side of the show.

Mirko Lorusso plays Johnny Pastore, another fresh face whose involvement is expected to be central to key plotlines. Whether he’s a new employee, business rival, or romantic suitor, his role adds depth to the narrative.

🔁 Who’s Staying: The Heart of the Show Remains
Despite the changes, many of the show’s most cherished characters will return, maintaining the emotional continuity fans expect.

Vanessa Gravina continues as Countess Adelaide di Sant’Erasmo, a pillar of elegance and influence in the story. Rumors suggest that her character may be headed for a wedding, adding a romantic highlight to the season.

Pietro Masotti returns as Marcello Barbieri, a complex character whose loyalty to Adelaide and struggles with ambition and love have earned him a loyal fanbase.

These returning characters ensure that the show retains its emotional center while exploring new paths.

💔 Who’s Leaving: Emotional Goodbyes
As with every new chapter, Season 10 also marks the end of the road for some beloved characters.

Elvira Camarrone, who portrayed Clara Boscolo, will not return. Her character leaves for Belgium to pursue her cycling career. It’s a bittersweet exit, closing an inspiring storyline that resonated with many viewers.

Rosa Camilli, known for playing Nicoletta Di Bisceglie, also exits the show. Nicoletta leaves Milan for Bologna, seeking a fresh start after personal disappointments.

Chiara Russo, who played Maria Puglisi, departs after her character moves to Paris. This signals the conclusion of her on-again, off-again romance with Matteo, unless a surprise twist is revealed later in the season.

Alessandro Tersigni, the original star of the show as Vittorio Conti, will be absent at least for the first half of the season due to other professional commitments. A brief cameo remains possible, but his role as the moral compass of the series may be on pause.

Gloria Radulescu, who played Marta Guarnieri, is also not expected to appear in early episodes. Her return is uncertain at this stage.

These departures leave emotional gaps but also open up narrative space for new characters and storylines to evolve.
