24 X 30 framed photo of "Christ of the Abyss"
History: Located more than 15 meters deep under the sea, the bronze statue was placed on the seabed on the 22nd of August, 1954, at the initiative of legendary Italian diver Duilio Marcante, who wanted to place a statue of Jesus following the death of his friend Dario Gonzatti, which occurred during a dive a few years earlier in that spot.
The statue was created by sculptor Guido Galletti, and its arms are raised upwards as a sign of invocation.
