529 Preziosa is a minor planet orbiting the Sun that was discovered by German astronomer Max Wolf on 20 March 1904 from Heidelberg.
This is a member of the dynamic Eos family of asteroids that were probably formed as the result of a collisional breakup of a parent body. [3]
The name is that of the protagonist of one of Miguel de Cervantes's Exemplary Novels. It is possible, since this was a period when Wolf habitually named his comets after operatic heroines, that he specifically had in mind the Preziosa in the eponymous opera by Antonio Smareglia. [4]
