(27985) Remanzacco Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 2 November 1997 by Remanzacco at Remanzacco.
Located in northeastern Italy at the feet of the Julian Pre-Alps, the town of Remanzacco claims very ancient origins. Its first urban installations are from the Roman epoch, and the name of the town is related to the Latin name Rematius, probably a Roman legionary who obtained land there.Naming citation (20040107/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
