One of the most characteristic places in the whole of Italy, the island of Correnti represents its southernmost point when the low tide allows it to be easily reached from the beach of Portopalo di Capo Passero. Right at the end of the latter is a statue of Christ with open arms, reminiscent of the much larger one in Rio. In the background you can see the meeting of the Ionian and Mediterranean seas.

The essential characteristic of such a "Christo Rei" depiction—which the statue found here, although dedicated not to Christ the King but to the Redeemer and therefore called "Christo Redentore," involuntarily reminds every viewer—is that Jesus is not shown on the cross or as the crucified one (although his outstretched arms suggest this from a distance), but Christ is the King, the victor over sin and death, who has overcome all the suffering in the world. It is the outstretched arms of the lovingly drawing Christ with which the divine Redeemer embraces the land and the people living there in blessing.
