The Mecejana Baron Mausoleum is an impressive work of gravestones, located in Santo Amaro Cemetery. Time and neglect cause marks on the marble that can be revitalized with a professional job. "For me restoration is a research work. The restoration of a monument should not be restricted to simple care for the object, you must understand all its past history."; tells Jobson to the newspaper (Jornal do Commercio) in 1999, the year of the mausoleum restoration.
