20 discouraging pictures from the life of gypsies

Over the centuries, the attitude towards the Gypsy people has been very controversial, and their way of life always and at all caused at least bewilderment and misunderstanding. While most people associate gypsies with thieves and beggars, the gypsy elite is literally buried in gold and wealth. Today, some gypsies continue to lead a nomadic lifestyle, constantly on the road, and some have chosen a settled, stable life, which, by the way, does not prevent them from invariably staying in a separate group and in no way assimilating with the rest of society. TravelAsk presents 20 vivid and eloquent shots that fully demonstrate the features of life, life and culture of the gypsy people.
