The word "signora" is an Italian noun that translates to "madam" or "lady" in English. It is used as a respectful form of address for a married woman.
In Italian culture, the term "signora" is often used to show respect and politeness when addressing a woman who is married or of a certain age. It is similar to the English term "Mrs." but can also be used more broadly to address any woman in a polite manner.
When speaking directly to someone, it is common to use the title "signora" followed by their last name. For example, if addressing a woman named Maria Rossi, you would say "Signora Rossi." This usage reflects the importance of formalities and respect in Italian society.
