From the Malta Independent : "She was the first transsexual to be a candidate with the Right of Centre alliance, the first to lead an equal opportunity committee, the first to open a centre in the South of Italy for those suffering from identity issues, and the first transsexual to get her feminine name accepted on her ID Card.
Now she has become the first transsexual to be invested as a Dame in the Order of the Knights of Malta.
Martina Castellana (left) is a dermatologist from Salerno. Now, with the Cross of Malta around her neck, she is preparing a second book, following her autobiography, Sulla mia pelle published a year ago."
Yet another- "thank goodness" she never entered the stealth closet!
