A pair of skeletons from the European Neolithic period (5000 to 6000 years old) were discovered outside Mantua, about 40km (25 miles) south of Verona, Italy.
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.
"I've been doing this job for 25 years. I've done digs at Pompeii, all the famous sites, but I've never been so moved because this is the discovery of something special," she said.
