Beleza das mulheres de etnia cigana (beauty of Roma women)

Fala-se imenso em integração social, mas os elementos desta comunidade, dispersa pela Europa, salvo raras excepções devidas ao seu valor artístico, continuam perseguidos, humilhados e marginalizados cultural e civicamente. Vários pintores de diversas épocas e regiões mostraram a beleza das mulheres do Povo Rom.

We talk a lot about social integration, but the elements of this community, scattered across Europe, with few exceptions due to its artistic value, are still being persecuted, humiliated and marginalized culturally and civically.
