GRB afterglows are among the best examples of astrophysical sources requiring a true multiwavelength observational approach. Radiation processes and main physical ingredients can only be disentangled with knowledge of their spectral and temporal properties through the largest possible band, i.e. from the X-ray down to radio. We now briefly review some of the most relevant observational findings recently obtained through optical observations.
