From the perspective of Enrico, a fourth-grade boy, the diary novel Love Education tells what he saw, heard and felt inside and outside the school from the first day of the fourth grade 10 to July of the following year, including many exhorting and inspiring articles written by his parents and touching monthly stories read by the teacher in class.
Love is the theme of the whole novel. Between the most plain lines, there are all kinds of greatest loves in the world: teachers' love, students' love, parents' love, children's love and classmates' love ... each kind of love is not earth-shattering, but it is touching.
By creating seemingly small but extraordinary characters, we can arouse emotional waves in readers' hearts and keep the virtue of love in readers' hearts forever. The whole novel examines the beauty, ugliness, good and evil around us with the eyes of a primary school student, and thoroughly feels the dribs and drabs of life with love.

The original Italian name of The Education of Love is Kuol. If translated literally, it should mean "heart". Treating everyone around us with "heart", that is, using the concept of "sincere heart and equal heart", is the educational theme of this book, and it is also the most limited and even the most "failed" place in this book.
As a professional journalist, the author has a profound understanding of his time. He clearly knew that at that time, the biggest communication barrier between people belonged to different classes, which could not be solved simply by shouting "heart".
But he didn't have the courage to speak his innermost thoughts, so he had to take evasive and circuitous measures to call on all teenagers to be children with "hearts". The author himself has long recognized this point, so after the success of Education for Love, he made a profound self-criticism on the contradiction between his so-called "intellectuality" and "emotion" in some media.
