15 colorful pictures of how gypsies lived in the 60s of the last century

Gypsies are an amazing people, for hundreds of years they have been constantly wandering throughout the world. They do not have a permanent territory, one house and no stability whatsoever. And, despite this, they are distinguished by amazing devotion and constancy in traditions, customs and lifestyle. It seems that their life consists entirely of songs, dances, fortune-telling, catchy outfits and the continuous movement on an endless road around the planet. But is it really so? The answer lies in documentary photographs of the life of gypsies. It is especially interesting to look at them also because these pictures were taken about half a century ago, in the 1960s of the last century.
