(1107) Lictoria is an asteroid of the main belt , which on 30 March 1929 by Italian astronomer Luigi Volta in Pino Torinese was discovered.
The asteroid was named after the symbol of the Italian Fascist Party, called Fasci Littori , from the Latin Fasces Lictores . While the fascists were in power, much in Italy was named after the symbol, such as festivals ( littoriali ) and express trains ( littorine ). When the Pontine Marshes (see Pontine Plain ) were drained, the area was repopulated. The first two cities were named Littoria and Sabaudia . After Sabaudia the asteroid (1115) Sabauda named. After the liberation of Italy from the fascists, Littoria was renamed Latina . This information is from Paul G. Comba and has been published in Lutz D. Schmadel's Dictionary of minor planet names .
