Since a long time it has been known that a relation exists between the polarimetric properties exhibited by atmosphereless Solar system bodies and their geometric albedo. For this reason, polarimetry is a very important observing technique, being able to provide estimates of the albedo directly resulting from measured polarimetric properties, without need of any additional ancillary data (like the absolute magnitude in the case albedo determination using thermal radiometry). The most serious problem in asteroid polarimetry comes from the fact that the relation linking the geometric albedo with polarimetric properties includes some calibration parameters which are affected by noticeable uncertainty. By obtaining new polarimetric data for a selected list of target asteroids having well-established albedoes, we are improving the situation. Some preliminary results are shown.
