Camogli is a fishing town on the Golfo Paradiso , west of Portofino . Once a year , a giant frying pan comes to the waterfront . This steel frying pan is almost four metres wide . Cooks fry fish for thousands of people . The Sagra del Pesce , the fish festival , started in 1952 . It happens on the second Sunday of May . The houses of Camogli are tall and colourful . But many windows and balconies are not real . Artists painted them on the walls . This is an old Ligurian tradition . An old story explains the name . In the story , Camogli means the house of the wives . The women waited at home . In the afternoon , you can take a small boat across the gulf . It goes to San Fruttuoso , an old abbey in a hidden cove . People arrive by boat or on foot . In 1954 , workers lowered a bronze statue into the bay . It is called the Christ of the Abyss . It stands seventeen metres down , and divers still visit it . In the evening , the giant pan is quiet on the waterfront . But the air still smells of fish . The whole town waits all year for one enormous pan .
