The Lovers of Valdaro.

Believed to be no older than twenty years of age when death occurred.

Over 5,000 years old. Locked in an eternal embrace.

Tragically, their story is unknown.

Ironically, they were found in the city of Mantua. In Italy. The city Shakespeare chose to set the story of Romeo & Juliet.

It is only through death is love preserved.
