A “Monumento al marinaio” (Sailor Monument) was unveiled last November on our seafront, not far from the buildings of the Accademia Navale (Naval Academy).
The statue was made by the sculptor Cesare Tarrini around 1926-27 for the tomb of the sailor Vasco Lomi, in the Municipal Cemetery. When the lease for the grave expired, the sculpture was removed and kept in storage for several years. It was recently considered fit and reused as a part of this new monument.
The statue of the sailor, for a long time confined inland, can finally see the sea.

How wonderful that he is now where he belongs.
Very nice indeed and great spot for it.
Perfect. It looks like it belongs and is very comfortable there.
I bet he feels much better now.
It's a nice setting. So glad he was resurrected.
So there are leases on graves? Oi ...
He has got a perfect place and what a nice view.
A nice statue!
These are beautiful VP. Love the light.
A beautiful statue, will be glad to finally get some fresh air.
What material is this? Marble?
I'm glad he found his rightful place by the sea. He's quite realistic!
Bellissimo! Ciao, Arianna
That should make him happy.
They found a good place for the sailor and I'm sure the place itself looks better this way.
