With reference to the recent very strong gamma-ray activity of the blazar 3C 454.3 detected by Fermi-GST and AGILE (ATel #2322), the GLAST-AGILE Support Program (GASP) of the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) reports on a simultaneous fast optical brightening of the source. After the mild activity registered in August-October 2009 (R ~ 14.5-15), the optical brightness decreased to R ~ 15-15.2 in November.
