The original ‘Christ of the Abyss’ underwater statue can be found 17 meters (75 feet) below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea off San Futtuoso, Italy. Placed in the water in 1954, the bronze statue is the one from which others – including the famous tourist attraction in Key Largo – were cast. It was placed near the spot where Dario Gonzatti, the first Italian to use SCUBA gear, died in 1947. In 2009, scub-diving ‘satanists’ supposedly hacked off both of the statue’s arms, but it’s unclear whether they’ve since been restored.
"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
