The pair from the Neolithic period were discovered outside Mantua, about 40km (25 miles) south of Verona.The pair, almost certainly a man and a woman, are thought to have died young as their teeth were mostly intact, said chief archaeologist Elena Menotti.
The burial site was discovered on Monday during construction work for a factory building.Archaelogists in Italy discovered a couple buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, still embracing one another.
"It's an extraordinary case," said Elena Menotti, who led the team. "There has not been a double burial found in the Neolithic period, much less two people hugging - and they really are hugging," she told Reuters news agency.
