Maria is from Sicily while Elisabetta is from near Rome.

They're not related but share an uncanny resemblance -- they're doppelgängers.

But while there are thousands of doppelgängers out there, there is something very peculiar about Maria and Elisabetta: they're BFFs and live together!

They met during the first year of university in Pisa, while staying at the same boarding school, and never separated.

Since 2012, they have shared an apartment together just five minutes from the leaning tower.

"It's very fun to have a twin stranger," Elisabetta said (or was it Maria?!). "We have a lot of fun stories."

They share the same hairstyle, same group of friends and, since day one, people have confused the two, including Maria's mother!
