Abstract
The results of the search for optical counterparts of GRBs 960720, 970 111, 970228, 970508 and 970828 by means of the 1.5-meter telescope of the Bologna Observatory in Loiano, equipped with CCD cameras, are pres ented and briefly discussed. In two cases, GRB 970228 and GRB 970508, an optical transient has been found and followed in its rise and decli ne.
