Any brief access point, tony?
For education, there's:Entwistle, Harold. Antonio Gramsci: Conservative Schooling for Radical Politics. London: Routledge, 1979.
This includes Croce and Gentile as well as Gramsci.Entwistle makes an argument that has been taken up by E.D. Hirsch to support his "Cultural Literacy" (a/k/a "Core Knowledge) program: He argues that progressive education was advocated by Gentile (Mussolini's Education minister), while Gramsci -- to the contrary -- advocated non-progressive education for the sake of progressive political purposes (Hirsch likes posing as the Gramsci of our day).
For more general social theory, there's:Bellamy, Richard. Modern Italian Social Theory: Ideology and Politics from Pareto to the Present. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1987.
This book includes three chapters focusing on each of Croce, Gentile, and Gramsci. All three were influenced in different ways by Hegel and by Marx.

Now there is a thought to contemplate. mike The trajectory from Croce to Gentile (Mussolinit's Minister of Education)may be worth considering in this regard.
