Pero' son davvero curiosi questi Socialisti: mi pare, non so perche', che escano da un vecchio libro di lettura, che sian rimasti insomma all'epoca del "Cuore."

Sorry, it did not fit in the Agree box
In Italian the expression "da libro Cuore" or similar are used to describe a situation / attitude / behavior etc. higly sentimental, moralistic and strict in kind, maybe even with a hue of patriotism or some other traditional and well-established / widely-shared value, possibly not far from "buonismo", sure enough close to patronizing.
Maybe that's the very connotation of any reference to Cuore: it will always convey an idea of obsolete and rétro patronizing.
