Marta Cartabia, a 56-year-old
law professor, was elected the first woman president of Italy's
Constitutional Court on Wednesday.
"The glass ceiling has been smashed," said Cartabia, who
comes from the province of Milan and is also one of the youngest
presidents the court has had.
"The new premier of Finland said that age and sex no longer
court," she added, referring to 34-year-old Sanna Marin, the
world's youngest currently-serving prime minister.
"It still counts in Italy.
"I hope that I can soon say that it doesn't count any more".
