We have believed for decades that supernovae were the most magnificent and energetic phenomena occurring in the Universe after the Big Bang. Today we know that this is only a part of the story. Astronomers have discovered that comparable amounts of energy (or even more) are released, in a few seconds, by gamma-ray bursts. Recently it was determined that these two classes of events have a deep connection. In this article we report the observations of supernovae associated with gamma-ray bursts carried out at ESO by our group. We also briefly review the status of the supernova/gamma-ray burst connection and highlight the open questions.
