"Un mondo d'amore" ('A world of love') is a song composed by Franco Migliacci, Sante Maria Romitelli [it] and Bruno Zambrini and performed by Gianni Morandi.[1] It was chosen by RAI as the theme song of the program Giovani.[1][2]

The single peaked at first place for five consecutive weeks between May and June 1967 on the Italian hit parade[3] and was among the ten best-selling singles of the year.[1] It is considered a "classic" and a "generational hymn".[1]

The song was later covered by several artists, including Thelma Houston (with the title "A World Of Love"), Joan Baez and Fiorello.
