The 'Christ of the Abyss' statue, placed on the seabed in 1954, was cleaned by Italian police divers using pressurized water jets. The bronze statue, a symbol of World War II sacrifice, lies 300 meters off the beach between Portofino and Camogli and is a popular diving spot. The annual cleaning operation, which took place recently, involved several forces working together to keep the statue in optimal condition for visitors.
