What an amazing cultural snapshot!

So charming!

look at that knit, love the colors

I don't know why but I find this kind of creepy and beautiful all at the same time. I love the tones and colours – this photo could have been taken any time in the last 40 or 50 years (but for the brand new looking vespa). It's beautiful.

hahaha, great pic!

beautiful man

Nice balance….smiles.

the colors of the photos are great!! Rich!

Lovely. I wonder if he is Roman or Roma?

I saw a similar man playing in a similar alley in Granada this summer, playing to pay for an eye operation according to his sign. Made me sad.

really great shot

Really nice shot.

I love rome….

He's so classic.

There's much in the world that you can't explain.
It's revealed for you to remember
by the whispering voice of a distant train
or a midnight rain in november.

Horizon within! You can always find
the keys to Enigma. Let's mention
one basic Truth: of spirited Mind
Is Nature naught but extension.

Internal expanses! In dreams, ridden
by fear and longing you roam
that deep Southeast in your soul hidden
…on your random journey back home.

Single Swingle

I love accordian players. They are from another age, I suppose just like the shoe shine guys. Interesting shot.

Buena fotografía Es un trabajador informal que podemos ver en cualquier parte del mundo.

This looks like a movie still! You've been posting some great stuff lately, Sart – thanks!

Very nice colours!

Another gorgeous shot. I love these.

I love how the bits and bobs about him suggest he's been sitting there playing for awhile.

And really. That slightly arched eyebrow? Fantastic.

Such a good photo again I'd love to see it in black and white I think it would give the photo a totally different voice. I love how it looks so classic on the streets like that over there.

Love this photo! It reminds me of a man who played in Trastevere…perhaps it is him??

bacio!

I love accordion music! What a face…lovely shot!

A great photo for inspiration, thank you for sharing!

Viaggio della Farfalla

The Key Item

I LOVE THIS! AND I LOVE HIS ACCORDION! HIS ACCORDION REMINDS ME OF DRIES VAN NOTEN!

What an amazing colours!! What an amazing pic! Waiting for a exposition in Madrid. Think in that

perfect!

This pic is so realistic..The expressions on the old man's face are so clear to understand… Photographer really makes this pic alive….

He is a romanian gipsy, not italian! we don't have italian musicians on the streets..sorry..Monia from Rome

The pix is great, although I would have cut the vespa out to make the picture timeless.

great work!

Thanks–I love this photo.

What a fabulous photograph! I love the partial view of the green door on the left and the touch of orange in the umbrella.

Such a BEAUTIFUL photo Sarte! I believe your work is becoming more and more refined!!

The perfect lights you get in your photos make me mad. I feel like throwing my Canon from the bridge…

May I have more of this please? This is beautiful, these last pics are sooo charming!!! The light the colours!!

The best clothes in the entire world: MUSIC!

perfect lights! amazing!

I guess this is both romantic and sad, and he's probably a romanian perfermer…

Ahhh! when i was in Rome there was a man who played the melodica outside our apartment EVERY day he would play the same two or 3 songs on loop and hassle us for money EVERY day…but looking back it was a funny memory, and apparently a very "Rome" thing to experience. The gypsy presence there is a bit like the presence of the homeless in SF.

I know this guy! He is from Botosani county, Romania. I remember him back in the old days when he used to be part of a band that played at weddings. The world is such a small place after all.

Yes there is a slight chance to be romanian, at least he doesn't beg but sing for money.. Nice shot though!

he plays down the stairs from my home, vicino via dei chiavari

very nice photo

Gipsy is different from Romanian!!!

Gipsy or not…Romanian or not…he's a human being and the picture is more than great.
