The wreck of Andrea Doria - never recover - lie on right-hand side even now, at a deep of 75mt in the hearth of ocean. With this artwork, we have want to give voice, and rediscover, a case that remain full of misterys even now. On 1956 july 25, leaving the coast of Nantucket and direct to New York, Andrea Doria clash with swedish ship Stockholm, of Swedish America Line, in one of must famous and debatable marine disaster of history.
