Signor Volpe: A Man For All Time


It has often been said that “opportunity rarely knocks twice.” There are millions of stories about people who didn’t answer the door when opportunity knocked; the story of Signor Corsa Volpe is not one of those stories. Signor Volpe is an amazing man who rose up through the ranks to become one of the most powerful men in time travel history.


Corsa was born in Florence, Italy during the European Renaissance.  His initial interest in time travel began to germinate while working as an apprentice for the famous Leonardo daVinci. In a journal entry dated 1512, Leonardo wrote, “Never in my life have I met a more interesting young man…Volpe will certainly become one of history’s most loved men.” Some of Signor Volpe’s earliest time travels included riding war elephants across the Pyrenees with Hannibal and working as a slave to help build the Egyptian Pyramids. Signor Volpe loved time travel, yet he knew he would need to do more if he was to be truly happy


Volpe’s big break came in the year 2011C.E. It was in this year that one of the world’s most prestigious and popular time travel companies, Time Travelers’ Incorporated, had a sudden need for new management.  TTI was run and managed by the brilliant young Senor Zorro, yet Zorro was fired for reasons still unclear. Corsa Volpe knew this was his big chance. He put together an amazing résumé and presentation.  Until they agreed to hire him, he camped out in front of TTI headquarters day and night.


Although it is a lot of hard work, Signor Volpe knows that managing Time Traveler’s Incorporated is no trivial matter. Volpe has brought his personal area of expertise, the Medieval World and European Renaissance, to the company and they now offer intensive year long-travels throughout this time. Corsa is a more hands on CEO than Zorro and will often travel with his clients. Olde Time magazine has named him their “Man of the Year.” In the article describing their decision they said, “Never has one man been so amazing. It is our opinion that Volpe could easily be the man of any year he chose to live in.”


Starting life as a simple workshop apprentice and then building a career that leads to being one of the most powerful men in Time is undoubtedly an amazing feat. Many people have dreamed of doing this. Signor Corsa Volpe did more than just dream. He saw an opportunity, and he took it. Truly, this makes him one of the most powerful men in time travel history.
