Was it Palermo or Catania?

These two are not twins.

One is opaque red with silver trim, the other nearly translucent with gold trim. Although both have the "M" insignia on the iridium nib, each has his or her own distinct way of writing. The silver trimmed alpha male writes like a medium, while the golden female writes nearly like a fine.

I have no idea where I bought these, but suspect that the Christmas we visited Sicily, I may have plucked these off some shelf in an art supply store.

Four years later, I wish had I had bought more or at least held a memory of what they are and from whence they came.
