Photos: The Sandy Hook Ducks Tour Rome

Here's the most inspiring photoset you'll see today.

Photographer Ricky Grasso shared with us his photos of the Sandy Hook Ducks' recent tour of Rome. The ducks — who went viral earlier this year as a symbol of Sandy Hook — popped up in the Eternal City, bringing smiles to the faces of locals and tourists alike.

"All the images are candid," he writes. "I hid in the crowd or alongside people and waited for reactions when bumping into the duck. It was crazy how people had no clue what it represented but still managed to put a smile on their face."

Grasso is currently studying abroad in Rome and conducted the "experiment" as a photojournalism project. He graciously shared his photos with us, but to let him know what you think of the Sandy Hook Duck Experiment, check out his Facebook page.
