Marina Catena is an military officer and a humanitarian and she has just become the first woman in the Italian army to receive the French Order of Merit.

It was awarded for her peacekeeping and humanitarian aid work in Kosovo, Iraq and Lebanon and most recently after the earthquake in LAquilla, Italy.

Currently the head of the UNs World Food Programme based in Paris, Marina Catena has also written two books about her experiences, donating the proceeds from sales to a multi-ethnic school in Kosovo and an orphanage for girls in Lebanon.
