Ati is a character, created by the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia and Genus Bononiae, symbolizing an Etruscan princess and a free, independent woman of the ancient Etruria (sixth century BCE). She represents the portrait of a truly surprising female status for her epoch: emancipated and full of dignity.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 5, #16, 4), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
