The skeleton was unearthed in a mass grave from the Venetian plague of 1576 - in which the artist Titian died - on the small island of Lazzaretto
Nuovo in the Venice lagoon.
I have posted a picture of the skull and a video report from the BBC at the Worldview blog.

'Vampire of Venice' skull found
Scientists in Italy have found the skull of a woman with a brick in her mouth, suggesting she may have been considered a vampire.(Worldview)
The skull, discovered in Venice, dates from the middle ages and the brick was probably an attempt to prevent her rising from the grave.
