In February 2007 there was an archeological finding made in the village of Valdaro, just outside of Mantua, which quickly captured the attention and the imagination of scientists and romantics alike the world over. A pair of Neolithic corpses were found buried together, entangled and facing each other, prompting Shakespearean references aplenty. This was only heightened by the fact that the nearby Mantua was the site of Romeo's exile in that iconic blueprint for tales of romance and tragedy. Today, they still remain together, on display under one case. If you have a soft spot for romance be sure to find a holiday rental shop in Lombardy and stop by to pay the lovers a visit.
Alchemy Noir ™ Lovers of Valdaro Candle with art by Eyajo December Joseph encompasses evergreens, spice, and a hint of fruit into a festive and inviting fragrance. Top notes of cypress and fir give a hint of the outdoors, while dark plum adds a touch of sweet nectar. Saffron and cinnamon enhance the spiced plum note, while warm benzoin and wood combine with smoky incense in the base. Truly romantic and sensual.
