Discovered on 25 September 1995 by P. Antolini at Pleiade.
Giovanni Arduino, born in Caprino Veronese, has recently been acknowledged as one of the founders of modern stratigraphy and stratigraphic chronology. He recognized the upward motion of the Alps, which he first classified on the grounds of the geological features of different strata.Naming citation (20050523/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
