report on behalf of the CIBO and of the GRAWITA collaborations: 

We carried out follow-up optical observations of GRB 231215A (D'Avanzo et al., GCN Circ. 35343; Navaneeth et al. GCN Circ. 35352; 
Verrecchia et al. GCN Circ. 35361; Cannady et al., GCN Circ. 35368; Bissaldi et al., GCN Circ. 35369) from the INAF - Padova Astronomical 
Observatory located in Asiago (Italy) with the 67/92 Schmidt telescope starting on 2023-12-15 at 16:45:00 UT (~ 7.0 hours after the burst) 
with the clear filter.

In our stacked image the optical afterglow (Lipunov et al., GCN Circ. 35347, Pankov et al., GCN Circ. 35349, Sasada et al., GCN Circ. 35351, 
An et al., GCN Circ. 35353, Wagh et al., GCN Circ. 35354, Hu et al., GCN Circ. 35363; Kuin et al., GCN Circ. 35366; Turpin et al., GCN Circ. 
35367; Zhu et al., GCN Circ. 35375) is detected. 
From preliminary analysis we estimate a magnitude of 21.2 +/- 0.2 (AB; calibrated against r band of the PanSTARRS catalog).
