(7675) Gorizia Main-belt Asteroid

Discovered on 23 November 1995 by Farra d'Isonzo at Farra d'Isonzo.

Named for the Italian town on the 1000th anniversary of the first mention of its actual name in an official document. Gorizia is the main city in the lowlands of the river Isonzo, on which Farra d'Isonzo and its astronomical observatory rise. Under Hapsburg dominion for over four centuries, Gorizia is now a green city where buildings and streets continuously remind one of this Austro-Hungarian influence.Naming citation (19990202/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
