The Supernova Group at the Padova Observatory was born on the shoulders of three great predecessors, professors Leonida Rosino, Roberto Barbon and Franco Ciatti, who were active in the research field of eruptive variables and supernovae from early '60s. Our interests ranges from the observations of the early and late time evolution of the SNe, to the SN search and statistics at low and intermediate redshifts, to the modeling with hydrodynamical codes. Since the '80's we maintain the Asiago Supernova Catalogue. In addion to the use of major observational facilities (e.g. ESO, GTC, NOT), we make extensive use of Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) and of our 1.82m telescope in Asiago We are members of several international collaborations, including PESSTO/ePESSTO/ePESSTO+, NUTS/NUTS2, Euclid, Grawita, Engrave, VRO/LSST, and SOXS.
