“These two victims were perhaps seeking refuge when they were swept away by the pyroclastic current at about 9 in the morning,” said Massimo Osanna, director of the archeological site.

“It is a death by thermal shock, as also demonstrated by their clenched feet and hands,” he added.

In a statement, Culture Minister Dario Franceschini considered the findings to be historic and Pompeii was recognized as an area of ​​high value for research and study.

According to historical records, the City of Pompeii, located about 23 km from Naples, was inhabited by about 13,000 people when the volcanic eruption occurred, drowning the city in lava and dust.

The relics of the city were only discovered around the 16th century and excavation work only began in 1750.
