5 hundred years ago, one prehistoric couple died hugging one another. The discovery happened on the suburbs of Mantua, 45 Km from Verona; the place was located during construction workings.

Luca Bondioli, anthropologist of the [Museum Ethnographic and Prehistoric of Rome](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-of-memories), said that such [double burials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urna-project) are very rare during prehistory. With shades of Shakespeare's '[Romeo and Juliet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alice-mushrooms1),' the discovery has more emotional value than scientific.

**Implications** - This prehistoric find is fascinating due to its emotional appeal. When businesses hit an emotional chord with consumers, a bond is created between the two. This improves trust between both the buyer and the business, making it easier to sell subsequent commodities.
