SPOILER ALERT! For fans of Il Paradiso delle Signore, this contains emotional insights and hints about the upcoming season.
The set of Il Paradiso delle Signore 10 is buzzing with activity, but for Pietro Masotti, who portrays the beloved Marcello Barbieri, this season holds a particularly poignant weight. Masotti recently opened up about the profound loss of his dear friend and colleague, Pietro Genuardi, who tragically passed away earlier this year after a long battle with a serious blood illness. Genuardi, unforgettable in his role as the steadfast Armando Ferraris, left an indelible mark on the show and its audience.
In a candid interview with Livedia24, Masotti confessed that Genuardi is constantly on his mind as filming for the new season progresses. “Part of his Paradise flew away with him,” Masotti revealed, expressing the deep void left by Genuardi’s absence. The two actors shared numerous scenes in previous seasons, forging a close bond both on and off-screen. Masotti shared heartfelt memories of his late colleague, emphasizing Genuardi’s extraordinary experience and his consistent willingness to offer advice and bring laughter to the set. “He always trained me, gave me advice, and prepared me to laugh,” Masotti recounted. “I saw him, and I was amazed by the incredible strength he had. It’s not easy without him.”
This raw emotion from Masotti underscores the significant impact Genuardi had on his fellow cast members and the entire production. As viewers eagerly await the return of Il Paradiso on Monday, September 8th, it’s clear that Genuardi’s spirit will undoubtedly be felt throughout the tenth season.
Beyond the personal grief, Masotti also teased some exciting developments for his character, Marcello Barbieri, hinting at the ongoing emotional complexities that define his journey.
Marcello’s Tumultuous Past and Future
In the previous season, Marcello found himself in a precarious position with Countess Adelaide. During her unexpected absence, he succumbed to a moment of weakness, sharing an intense kiss with journalist Rosa. This impulsive act deeply tested Marcello, creating a dramatic rift in his relationship with Adelaide.
However, the return of a deeply distressed Adelaide prompted Marcello to reassess his actions. He realized his mistake, understanding that his true desire was to be by Adelaide’s side and support her through her difficult time. The two eventually rekindled their romance, and Rosa, in turn, temporarily departed, leaving her position at the Paradiso delle Signore.
This tumultuous past sets the stage for a compelling new season for Marcello. How will the echoes of his past actions with Rosa affect his relationship with Adelaide moving forward? Will new challenges emerge to test his loyalty and love? These are the questions that will undoubtedly keep viewers on the edge of their seats as Il Paradiso delle Signore 10 unfolds.
The anticipation for the new season is palpable, and with Masotti’s heartfelt reflections and the intriguing hints about Marcello’s storyline, it’s clear that Il Paradiso delle Signore 10 will be an emotional rollercoaster for both the cast and the dedicated audience.
