As Il Paradiso delle Signore gears up for its highly anticipated 10th season, fans are in for a whirlwind of surprises, emotional twists, and unexpected alliances. With filming in full swing and the season set to premiere in September 2025 on Rai 1, two major developments have captivated audiences: the arrival of Don Matteo star Simone Montedoro in a mysterious and possibly villainous role, and a stunning announcement from Countess Adelaide and Marcello—they’re getting married.

Let’s take a deep dive into these dramatic developments and what they could mean for the new season.

🌟 Simone Montedoro Joins the Cast: The New Villain?
Known and loved for his portrayal of Captain Giulio Tommasi in Don Matteo, Simone Montedoro is making his debut in Il Paradiso delle Signore 10 as Fulvio Rinaldi, a character shrouded in mystery. But rumors suggest this role will be far from heroic. In fact, Fulvio may be the new antagonist who threatens to upend the delicate emotional and professional balance that has kept Paradiso running.

Though little is officially known about Fulvio’s backstory, insiders have hinted that he will bring secrets from the past and hidden agendas to the surface. His arrival in Milan is anything but coincidental, and his intentions may be connected to power, revenge, or both. Speculation also points to a possible rivalry with long-standing characters like Tancredi di Sant’Erasmo or Umberto Guarnieri, which could ignite new feuds among the elite families of Milan.

Montedoro’s ability to portray complex, emotionally charged characters makes him the perfect fit for a role that will likely test the loyalty and morality of other cast members. Fans who admired his strength and integrity in Don Matteo will be intrigued to see him in a potentially darker, more manipulative role.

💍 Adelaide and Marcello Announce Their Wedding
In a bombshell revelation that no one saw coming, Countess Adelaide di Sant’Erasmo (Vanessa Gravina) and Marcello Barbieri (Pietro Masotti) are reportedly set to tie the knot in Season 10. This romantic twist has left fans buzzing, as the couple has had one of the most complex and emotionally fraught relationships in the series.

Their story began with stark contrasts—Adelaide, an aristocratic and powerful woman, and Marcello, a self-made man from a modest background. Over the seasons, their relationship has evolved from flirtation to deep respect and affection. But their journey has never been without obstacles: family pressure, social differences, and personal insecurities have all challenged their bond.

So what changed?

Sources close to the production suggest that Marcello has proven himself as a trustworthy and capable partner not only emotionally but also in terms of business and family politics. Adelaide, often caught between duty and desire, is finally ready to choose happiness—even if it means facing opposition from those in her circle who see Marcello as “beneath her.”

Their engagement is expected to be one of the central storylines of the new season, with dramatic moments at every turn: from planning the wedding to facing disapproval, and perhaps even betrayal. Fans can anticipate emotionally rich scenes, lavish fashion, and elegant celebrations—though in true Paradiso fashion, no wedding ever comes without complications.
