1115 Sabauda is a dark asteroid from the main-belt, about 69 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Luigi Volta on December 13, 1928, at Pino Torinese in Turin, Italy. It was independently discovered five days later by Josep Comas Solá at the Fabra Observatory in Barcelona, Spain. Its provisional designation was 1928 XC. The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.6–3.6 AU once every five and a half years (1,996 days). Its orbit is inclined by 15 degrees to the ecliptic and fairly eccentric (0.17). It has a relatively low geometric albedo of 0.07.
Photometric observations of this asteroid collected during 2006 show a rotation period of 6.72 ± 0.01 hours with a brightness variation of 0.27 ± 0.02 magnitude.[3]
The asteroid bears the Latin name of the former rulers of Italy, the House of Savoy (Sabauda, or Sapauda). It is also possible that it was named after the new established town of Sabauda in the Pontine Marshes, central Italy.[2]
