(7531) Pecorelli Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 24 September 1994 by Stroncone at Stroncone.
A conductor on the trams and buses in Terni for 30 years, Antonio Pecorelli (1923-1986) was a poet whose direct contact with the moods of the people was later recorded in more than 300 sonnets in the local dialect. With a biting pen, he knew what to say, and he said what others did not dare to say.Naming citation (20020427/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
