Statue and Monument Cleaning with Drone: Technological Touch to Historical Textures

The statues rising in the city squares are the silent narrators of our culture and history. They represent a hero, a struggle, an ideal or an artist’s emotion. However, the effects of time, natural conditions and environmental pollution slowly wear out these unique structures. So, what is the modern and safe way to preserve these cultural treasures?
