SO₃ dissolves in water to form sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄)
SO₃(g) + H₂O (l) —> H₂SO₄ (aq)
Marble is made up is made up of Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)
It reacts with sulphuric acid in the following reaction equation.
H₂SO₄ (aq) + CaCO₃(s) — > CaSO₄ (aq) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)
By thus reaction the marble statues are damaged by corrosion.

Sulfur trioxide reacts with rain water to form acid rain(sulfuric acid)
SO3 + H20→ H2SO4
Marble forms when limestone is subjected to heat and pressure of metamorphism to form the mineral calcite (CaCO3).
This mineral is basic in nature.
When exposed to acid rain a neutralization reaction takes place as shown below.
CaCO3+ H2SO4→ CaSO4 +H20 + CO2
This is what results in the destruction and decolorization of marble walls and statues
