The Submarine Museum “The House of Fish”
It is a unique project located in the waters of Talamone, Maremma. Born in 2006 from the idea of fisherman and environmentalist Paolo Fanciulli, the museum combines art and environmental protection to protect the seabed from illegal trawling.
It consists of 29 Carrara marble sculptures, created between 2016 and 2024 by Italian and international artists. These works were placed on the seabed, at a depth of between 6 and 20 metres, in the stretch of water below the Rocca di Talamone. The sculptures act as deterrents against illegal fishing and, at the same time, create an underwater art trail accessible to divers and snorkelling enthusiasts.
