The so-called Lovers of Valdaro, also dubbed as the "Valdaro Lovers," is a pair of human skeletons locked in an eternal embrace discovered by archaeologists at a Neolithic tomb in San Giorgio di Mantova near Mantova, Italy, in 2007.
Archaeologist Elena Maria Menotti led the excavation. Scientists believe that the pair is a man and woman no older than 20 years old and approximately 5'2" in height. They were removed from the ground intact and sent to Musei Civici in Como where they are undergoing tests.
