(27056) Ginoloria Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 26 September 1998 by P. G. Comba at Prescott.
Gino Loria (1862-1954) was a professor of higher geometry at the University of Genoa. He wrote two treatises on plane and space curves, but his main interest was the history of mathematics from antiquity to his own time. He wrote biographies of Archimedes, Newton, Cremona and Beltrami.Naming citation (20020128/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
