Il paradiso delle signore

The Ladies’ Paradise is a paradise for television (and film) lovers anywhere! Thank you to the men and wymin writers and directors for offering us this elegant yet down-to-Earth splendor. Il Paradiso delle Signore is one of my most loved tv shows, ever. Prima, we are introduced to the beautiful and frustrated Teresa, brilliantly portrayed by Giusy Buscemi. I admire that Teresa is an independent thinker and doer; cares about the world around her; and has a keen business sense (wish shi started her own business). Her Life is exciting but I think shi deserved a better man (Seasons 1 & 2). Secondo, we are introduced to the quiet and determined Pietro Mori (Giuseppe Zeno). Though he struggles to severe his relationship with the past; and to achieve the type of success he dreams, I can relate to and admire him. Can you imagine, a low-income womin in America relating to a successful man in Italy, of the 1950s no less? Mr. Mori also cares about the world around him; is a focused professional; respects his staff with kindness and by trusting their professional instincts; and seeks and gains the success of which I daydream all the time. Terzo, we have the handsome, creative, and well-dressed Vittorio Conti (Alessandro Tersigni)! As Mr. Mori’s Chief Advertising Officer, Vittorio passionately helps steer Mr. Mori’s business, until he doesn’t (good for him). He is joyful, fun, and an independent thinker and doer himself. Scorsa, Il Paradiso delle Signore invites us into the elegant world of wymin’s fashion in 1950s Italy. Each time the camera takes us inside, I feel as if I, too, am entering a wonderful world --- where I’d love to work or shop --- where anything is possible. The music is as fun and determined as the characters and as steady as each of their stories; I find it amazing that each character has an interesting story (and wonderful lines). Watching this show, you are with them all each step of the way, cheerleading and laughing and wondering. Ora, la fine! Spero che per te questo sia l'inizio.
