The Statue of Christ the Redeemer of Maratea
Is a statue of Jesus Christ in Maratea, southern Italy, realized in Carrara marble on the top of the Mountain “St. Biagio". The sculpture was created by the Florentine sculptor Bruno Innocenti. The entire Statue was completed in 1965. It is 21,20 metres high, the head is 3 metres in height and the arm-span is 19 metres from finger tip to finger tip.The idea to realize the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Maratea belongs to the Count Stefano Rivetti di Val Cervo, during his trip in Brazil, while he was flying over the Corcovado. When he came back to Italy he asked Bruno Innocenti, professor of the sculpture at the Istitutod’Arte of Florence, to realize the big statue of the Christ the Redeemer that became now the symbol of Maratea.
