If the stone is marble or limestone - and many statues are - acid rain will slowly but surely eat away at it - a kind of slow-motion "dissolving", as it were. It is very real, and a very serious problem.
limestone
Limestone is mostly calcium carbonate. processing the total carbonates in the limestone via titration will work, using an acid such as hydrochloric acid.
The dissolution of limestone by rainwater containing carbonic acid is the perfect example of chemical weathering.
When limestone reacts with acid, Carbon Dioxide is produced.

Limestone is an alkaline compound and not included in acid rains.

Indeed it does. The reaction is between an acid (mostly Sulphuric, I believe) and also the limestone (Calcium Carbonate). This becomes chemistry when further developed: CaCO3 + H2SO4 --> CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O Calcium Carbonate + Sulphuric Acid --> Calcium Sulphate + Carbon Dioxide + Water The reaction is a neutralisation reaction between an acid and a base, here a carbonate.
