In fact, we have two of them: "voi" (just like "vous" in French, a sort of plurale maiestatis) or "lei" (which literally means "she" but is used also for male subjects). "Voi" is more old-fashioned and is used mainly by poorly educated people, especially in the South, while "lei" is the standard, but since some verbs are more difficult to conjugate in the third person that it requires, it's often a way of telling if one is literate.
