On the night of January, 13, 2012, Costa Concordia, the very same cruise ship that appears in Film Socialisme, by Jean-Luc Godard (2010), struck a rock in the Tyrrhenian Sea on the western coast of Italy, just next to Giglio Island, where it remained, partially submerged, for 2 years.
In 2014 the firm Titan Salvage took the contract to refloat the boat and salvage what remained. The boat was then towed 320 kilometres to the harbour of Genoa, for scrapping. This picture was taken on July, 21, 2014. [Photo: Tiziana Fabi]
