For over fifty years photographer Charles H. Traub has been capturing expressive moments around him, but his most impressive works have to be the ones from the 80s, when he first traveled to Italy and witnessed the iconic street life Italians call 'La Dolce Vita.'

During the 1980s Traub visited various parts of Italy for 2 to 3 weeks at a time, documenting the intriguing lifestyle he called La Dolce Via (the Sweet Way). The freedom, slow pace, and diversity were the trademarks of the time which is now witnessed mainly in photos.

According to the photographer, this street culture is now almost gone as Italy struggles to overcome the problems that arose together with the global economy. Traub describes these photos as “a time capsule” of the Italy that no longer exists.

You can experience the full series in his book Dolce Via: Italy In the 1980's.

    wrong go to a park go to a playground go to a gym go to a school 60% of kids would rather go outside please don't group then or stereotype them(a reason why kids are online is that they have homework online!) also maybe if parents introduced some kids to the outside world instead of giving them devices they would go outside!

    What was the name of that show? Had valerie bertanelli in it? When I was little and home sick from school, I used to watch it in 80's..

    I am impressed at this lady's balance. My butt hanging over this thing would look like I got hit in both rear cheeks with a bag of nickels..
