Casa dei Pesci: underwater art park opens at Argentario with ecological mission

Initiated in 2012 by Paolo Fanciulli in Maremma, the Casa dei Pesci project is now extending to Argentario, introducing a new underwater park that merges art with ecological restoration. Under the guidance of Luigi Scotto, the initiative showcases five marble sculptures, each weighing between 10 and 15 tons, crafted by artists including Corrado Levi, Andrea Marini Leandri, Francesca Bonanni, Anna Torre, Abdulkadir Hocaoglu, Nikolas Maniatakos, and Wimar Van Ommen. This installation will establish a diving trail along the southwestern coastline, complemented by five 3D-printed bio-attractive modules and one hundred tiles aimed at fostering Posidonia oceanica regrowth, created by Enrico Dini's D-Shape. The artworks will be revealed on June 12 at Porto Santo Stefano and submerged on July 3, with the project chronicled in Keti Stamo's film 'Beneath the Surface'.
