The Astéroïde (7794) Sanvito is an asteroid of the Solar system discovered in 1996. It owes its name at the Italian city of San Vito (its Co-discoverers, Maura Tombelli and Ulisse Munari, are Italian).

Anecdote

This asteroid is evoked as of 1968 by Arthur C. Clarke in its novel 2001, the odyssey of space . Actually, there was less than 3000 asteroids discovered at the time of the exit of the book. But the author showed an acute sense of anticipation, since it locates the discovery of this asteroid in 1997.
