    Archaeologists in a European country have recently made a poignant discovery, not far from the setting of Shakespeare's most romantic play. What is it, and can you find me a picture of it?

    		Indeed, qp. The burial was actually found outside of Mantua, but that city, too, is mentioned in R&J, set in nearby Verona.

    Archaeologically speaking, it's not a major find, and we don't know the circumstances of the burial. But it's rather sweet.

    A silver plumb bob to you!

    You can watch a little clip, too. It would help to understand Italian.

    How did arrange them before rigor mortis set in? The other possibility is too morbid.

    		Ach! Too many typos. I need a silver edit key.

    		Si, l'ho visto. Ma grazie.

    Rigor disappears after a while. It's not permanent.
