Christ of the Abyss in Italy
Located in the waters of San Fruttuoso, Italy, is a bronze statue of Christ. It is said that it was one of three that were made and later placed intentionally in the water. The first statue was completed in 1954 and placed near the area where Dario Gonzatti died in 1947. Gonzatti had been the first Italian to use Scuba equipment. Unfortunately, crustaceans and corrosion forced the city to remove the statue to restore it in 2003. Once the statue was fixed, it was placed back in its original position in 2004.
