1238 Predappia (1932 CA) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on February 4, 1932 by L. Volta at Pino Torinese.
Photometric observations of the asteroid during 2006 at the Palmer Divide Observatory in Colorado Springs, Colorado, were used to generate a light curve with a period of 8.94 ± 0.02 hours and a variation in brightness of 0.03 ± 0.01 magnitude.[1]
