We observed the GRB 220521A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 32075; Dichiara et
al., GCN 32076; Poolakkil and Meegan, GCN 32089) with ORI-22 telescope
of ISON-Castelgrande observatory. Observation started on 2022-05-21 (UT)
23:25:00, i.e. 4.65 min after GRB trigger. The series consists of 60
images with an exposure of 60 s in a Clear filter.
The optical afterglow (Malesani et al., GCN 32078; Fynbo et al., GCN
32079; Goranskij et al., GCN 32082; Strausbaugh et al., GCN 32091;
Rastinejad et al., GCN 32097) is not detected in the initial part of the
series and is marginally detected in the stacked image of the second
