[citation needed] Alberoni was among the few regular front page writers of Corriere della Sera, Italy's most popular newspaper, which published his articles from 1973 to 2011.

[citation needed] Although Alberoni claimed he was a model student and real perfectionist at school, he admitted he did not like the military-like discipline imposed on schoolchildren by the fascist regime.

Here he also met the friar Agostino Gemelli, who was intrigued by Alberoni's thinking and bright intelligence, and pushed him to pursue studies in the field of social behavior.

[citation needed] The concept developed here is the so-called Statu Nascenti, the "nascent state", the moment in which leadership, ideas, and communication, come together and fuel the birth of movements.

Then followed The Nuptial Flight (Garzanti, Milan, 1992), where he took a closer look at pre-adolescent and adolescent crushes on film stars, and then at the general feminine tendency to seek out superior love objects.

Alberoni's books have had a great success both in Italy and abroad, having been translated not only in countries like Japan, Spain, France, Denmark, Brazil, Sweden and many others such as Turkey and Israel.

His books composed of newspaper articles have been pointed out by some critics[citation needed] as lacking scientific analysis, allegedly reducing to platitudinous advice about today's life and love matters.
