Commissario Montalbano, the famous detective from Sicily, is a keen user of the Staedtler Noris [1]with and without eraser tip. Even though he’s driving around in an old Fiat Tipo his home is fantastic and is furnished and and decorated with classic and vintage bits and bobs, just like the grand homes of the criminals he is visiting. The Noris is a suitable pencil for him to use as it is the archetypal European pencil – even though it is a surprising choice as it is clearly a branded item.
PS: Does anyone know what those cards / brochures / journals are that most civil servants in this TV series seem to have pinned to their walls.
