Thanks to the cooperation and coordination of the technical service of Underwater Archaeology of the Superintendence of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for Genoa and La Spezia and the National Superintendence for Underwater Cultural Heritage, the bronze statue of the Christ of the Abyss was cleaned up by carrying out underwater maintenance work.

The intervention took place on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the monument, an international symbol of diving and a memorial to the lives lost at sea. The operation was made possible through the use of apressure washer provided by the Roan of the Genoa Guardia di Finanza. Divers from the Guardia di Finanza, Fire Brigade, Carabinieri, Coast Guard and Comsubin took turns underwater.
