EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Prehistoric skeletons E439 / 0127, famously known as the Valdaro Lovers. These two embracing neolithic skeletons are believed to be a man and woman in their early twenties who met their demise approximately 5000-6000 years ago. Discovered at Valdaro-S. Giorgio near Mantova in Lombardy, Italy, they now reside in the archaeobiology laboratory at the Musei Civici in Como. The image captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time - a testament to eternal love that transcends even death itself. The entwined bodies of these ancient lovers evoke a sense of closeness and intimacy that has endured through centuries. Their embrace speaks volumes about human connection and affection. As we gaze upon this archaeological marvel, we are reminded of our shared history and the profound emotions that have shaped humanity since its earliest days. It is a poignant reminder that love knows no boundaries, not even those imposed by time or mortality. In this photograph, every detail comes alive: from the delicate brushes used during excavation to uncover these precious remains, to the tools scattered around them - remnants of an ancient civilization long gone but never forgotten. The Valdaro Lovers serve as a powerful symbol of romance and unity across generations. They remind us that love is timeless and can withstand the test of time - an enduring legacy left behind for all those who come after us to witness and appreciate.
