Some things are not always as obvious as they seem. Think of childhood Many people, perhaps born in the wealthier parts of the world, view children as carefree creatures who play, go to school, and have fun. However, this is not the case everywhere.
Indeed, our world still presents disparities that are difficult to reduce, so that the same concept of childhood takes on totally different meanings depending on the context to which it is attached. That’s why photos like the one we’re about to show you are fascinating and thought-provoking. The author is Massimo Bietti, a talented Italian photographer who travels the world to take portraits of young children. It is impressive to observe how the daily life and habits of children are different from one place to another. These photographs, deep and emotionally charged, are precious testimonies to the immensity of the cultures that our world continues to offer us.
