Great website. I really enjoyed reading the article. My favorite line: "A 
more complete cleaning will allow an easier "reading" of the architecture by 
an observer, but it is less respectful of the traces that past history left 
on the "face" of the monument so that another observer (or the same) may feel 
that a face lifting was made. As for a beautiful woman, a lifting may be nice 
but it should not be detectable."
