Signora Volpe Master Post

All original Signora Volpe posts will be linked here for easy navigation.

Gifs

Currently, the idea is to gif all the scenes between/about Giovanni and Sylvia (need a couple name...). Although, I might branch out (free feel to request scenes, but no promises when I'll get to them).

As of the time I'm writing this post up (November 2025), there are a couple of gif sets already posted, although unfortunately not in order as my excitement got ahead of me... However, all subsequent posts will be posted in episode and scene order - currently starting with Season 2 because I have the most gifs prepared from Season 2.

Initially, the idea is to post basic scene gif sets, in the same aspect ratio as the show. However, as well as just scene gif sets, I hope to do some gif collections and edits- for example: Sylvia and Giovanni kissing, holding hands, Giovanni detecting when Sylvia lies, Giovanni getting a tad exasperated with Sylvia, etc.

Also, Tumblr has a gif size limit of width 540p... so, unfortunately, that has reduced some of the gifs' quality. I really wish I could post the full-size, very high-quality gifs on here, but needs must...

Another thing. Signora Volpe is a British/Italian show filmed in Italy with a mostly Italian cast. When there are no British characters around, they speak Italian, and it is translated in English via subtitle. I am not Italian, and unfortunately, I do not speak Italian. However, I have done my best to provide the actual Italian subtitles along with the English translations. I try to be as accurate as possible, but it is very possible that I have made mistakes. If so, please let me know, and I'll change it. (Honestly, doing this is not a bad way of starting to learn/familiarise oneself with Italian.)

Main characters have set subtitle colours, which are as follows:

Sylvia = White

Giovanni = Yellow

Isabel = Light Purple

Barzini = Rose (Red/Pink)

Matteo = Blue

Antonella = Light Pink

Henry = Light Blue/Teal

News

I'm also going to start posting news/updates for the upcoming Season 3. As I'm a little late to the game, and keep getting distracted, I'll make some retrospective posts about start of filming and the season synopsis. Season 3 filming finished on the 20th/21st of November 2025. Giovanni Cirfiera (plays Giovanni Riva) mentioned (via IG comments) that the new season should be airing around Spring/Summer 2026, (which fits in line of when the other seasons first aired). Any news/updates between now and then I'll also post. (Free feel to send me any updates that I've missed.)

Fics

And if I ever get around to typing the words from my head, there might also be a fic or two coming...

"When you can't keep women out anymore, and you can't force them all to become secretaries or teachers because modern social politics demand that you at least pretend to support gender equality in the workplace, what can you do to keep women out of powerful positions in business? You can set them up to fail- or, to be more accurate, you set them up to fall.

It's called the glass cliff, and it's a phrase that was first coined in 2005 by University of Exeter researchers Michelle K. Ryan and S. Alexander Haslam. The research was inspired by an article in the Times (of London, not New York) that suggested women leaders have a negative impact on stock performance. Perhaps Ryan and Haslam smelled the whiff of bullshit coming from the page. They wondered if it was actually true that women brought doom and gloom to the businesses they led, or if there was some other reason why women were more likely to be found in leadership positions at troubled businesses.

They found that women were indeed more likely than men to be in leadership positions at distressed companies, but they also found that the problems were not the women's fault... These firms had shown months of decline and seemed at risk of failure prior to adding women to their boards.

When Allison Cook and Christy Glass at Utah State University followed up on this research by looking at US companies, they also discovered disturbing patterns impacting women and people of color in business: women and people of color were most likely to be placed at the head of a company when it was already at risk of failure; white men were less likely to accept leadership positions when companies were at risk of failure; and when women or people of color fail to quickly turn around the struggling company, they were most likely replaced with white men.

Women and people of color are often only given the opportunity to steer ships that white men have already rammed into icebergs. Then, when the ship sinks, the media reports that women make bad captains."

"Sewing is a gateway drug to thinking through complex problems. It seems really simple; culturally, we make it women's work. Let me tell you: real sewing at any kind of level of proficiency is a bloody magic trick. Sewing, like mold making, involves mental frames that require one to think inside out and backwards. It requires one to work on an order of operations that is often taking into account the reverse. It's a really, really important skill, and if you learn how to sew, you're mostly on your way to carpentry and welding and sheet metal work. I'm not kidding: these are planar forms meeting under rules and conditions. And if you can make a sleeve work, I swear to God, you could build a house."

After ten years of dreaming, eight years of government support, six years of fundraising (we needed $50,000,000!), and five years of construction, the Paul Farmer Maternal Center of Excellence at Koidu Government Hospital finally saw its first patients on February 14th.

13 babies were born at the MCOE that day. Several were admitted to the NICU, the first in Sierra Leone's history. The MCOE is already radically transforming the kind of maternal and infant care available in eastern Sierra Leone.

Five thousand babies will be born at the MCOE this year. 5,000 more will be born there next year, and the year after that, and the year after that--hopefully for decades. The healthcare workforce of the entire nation will grow stronger because the MCOE is a teaching hospital training the next generation of Sierra Leonean nurses, midwives, and doctors.

The heroes of this story are those caregivers along with the Ministry of Health, PIH, and the hundreds of skilled laborers who worked together for years to build the hospital despite so many challenges. But if you're supporting this project directly or indirectly (by buying good store socks or soap), thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Signora Volpe - Season 2 Gif Master Post

So apparently Tumblr limits you to having a maximum of 100 links per post, so having one master post isn't going to work. This is the master post for Signora Volpe Season 2. I'll also do master posts for each episode and link them here.

22/01/2026: Gifs still to do include Sylvia whump from Episode 3. These will be posted when ready.

Unless you are a member of the Signora Volpe cast or Acorn TV, (and if you are, contact me, I'll give you the better quality gifs that aren't limited by Tumblr's size restrictions), please do not repost other social media platforms or edit. Please credit. (Reblogging on Tumblr is fine and even greatly encouraged!)

I can't link to each gif set individually, otherwise I'll have far more than 100, so I have linked to each individual episode Master Post, and to the gif set name tag on my Tumblr. I hope this will okay. Again sorry about the hassle.
