We have obtained BVRI images of the afterglow (Peterson & Price, GCN
1985) of GRB 030329 (Vanderspek et al., GCN 1997), using the 182cm
Copernico telescope of the Astronomical Observatory of Padova (Italy),
plus BFOSC. Seeing was ~3"; the afterglow was clearly detected in all
bands; we measured for it the following BVRI magnitudes, with respect to
the calibration performed by Henden (GCN 2082):

Apr. 4.916 1200 s B 18.88 +- 0.02
Apr. 4.932 600 s I 17.71 +- 0.02
Apr. 4.941 600 s V 18.55 +- 0.02
Assuming a powerlaw shape for the spectrum (F_nu propto nu^-beta), the
best fit to our data yields beta~1.
