L'amore è il perché

(Love is the Reason)

Casa Editrice Longanesi&C., October 2025, pp.224

«Refusing to love for fear of suffering is like refusing to live for fear of dying.»

From the acclaimed Italian journalist and bestselling author Massimo Gramellini comes a tale that examines love in all its forms, revealing the truths that shape our most intimate experiences.

Love has touched each of our lives through crushes, illusions and wounds that leave their marks.  Drawing on mythology, literature, film, and the stories that have inspired him, with a voice both intimate and gently ironic, Gramellini illuminates the joys, pains, and paradoxes that accompany every human connection, in a story of emotional education and existential growth.

Love Is the Reason is a guide through the inner journey between the desire for an overwhelming love and the fear of being hurt; between the longing to feel fully alive and the temptation of safe, comfortable relationships. It is the story of all who seek love, suffer for it, and sometimes surrender – before its immensity.
