Underwater Sculptures in Tuscany

In 2013, the Casa dei Pesci, or House of Fish, sculpture park was officially opened alongside a nonprofit of the same name that manages the underwater project. Fanciulli convinced a number of artists including Giorgio Butini, Massimo Lippi, Beverly Pepper and Emily Young to carve sculptures from the marble, which have since been placed underwater in a circle around four meters apart, with an obelisk at the center made by the Italian artist Massimo Catalani. “Our main goal is to protect the seabed against illegal fishing, pollution and other threats,” says Giovanni Contardi, president of the nonprofit. “And we want to raise citizens’ awareness across Italy of the problem.”
