Mud Angels cleaning pages in the Florence railway station, 1966
... that conservator Carolyn Price Horton helped to direct a "Mud Angel army" that rescued books (pictured) after the Arno River flooded museums and libraries in Florence, Italy in 1966? Source: https://blog.cmog.org/2017/08/07/the-gallantry-of-a-mud-angel/ "Carolyn Price Horton was an essential part of the Mud Angel army, providing her expertise in book conversation." https://www.historytoday.com/history-matters/florence%E2%80%99s-mud-angels "on 4 and 5 November 1966, the River Arno broke over its banks and flooded Florence, leaving one ton of mud for every person in the city and devastating the Renaissance city’s artistic and historical treasures. Churches, museums and libraries, all filled with works of art, were inundated with mud"

Overall: Well referenced article and extremely interesting. Prefer the original hook as I think Mud Angel Army is more intriguing than calling the woman a Mud Angel. Perhaps wikilink Arno River in hook but don't feel strongly about it. Great job! Dwkaminski (talk) 17:43, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
