First words from the article (emphasis added): “Three astronomers FROM the Netherlands”
Because of that and her Italian-looking name, I suspect she’s Italian. Wikipedia thinks so, too (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raffaella_Morganti https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raffaella_Morganti)
> Not many Dutch people have been bestowed the honor of receiving an Italian commendation.
I expect quite a few will have minor ones, as it’s customary to bestow them on ambassadors and politicians.
Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Star_of_Italy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Star_of_Italy), this one isn’t minor, but still follows that pattern.
