Stop. Run. Play. Photographs by Susan Duca March 26, 2011

Susan Duca's photo-essay follows a group of Italian children attending a public school in Florence, Italy through eight years of growing, playing, learning and relating. Her work captures the energy, affection and free-spiritedness of her young subjects and creates a visual diary of the social and physical connections that may be waning in American educational systems, but appear to thrive in Italian schools. In June, "Stop. Run. Play" travels to Scuola-Città Pestalozzi in Florence, where the images were taken.
