The story

What you're looking at

Christ of Maratea, or Statua del Redentore, is a twentieth-century monument on Monte San Biagio. The national cultural catalogue records a 21-metre statue installed in 1965 and attributes it to Florentine sculptor Bruno Innocenti. It stands in front of the Basilica of San Biagio but is distinct from the sanctuary's historic fabric. This preliminary source foundation avoids unverified material, commission, conservation and visitor-access claims.
