Chincarini, on behalf of  \nthe MISTICI collaboration report:\n\nWe observed the field of GRB 080310 (GCN 7382, Cummings et al.) with  \nthe VLT equipped with FORS2 with the Rapid Response Mode starting  \nfrom 2008-03-20 at 08:42:59 UT  (about 5 minutes from the burst) for  \nalmost one hour of continuous observations. The optical afterglow  \n(GCN 7381, Chornock et al.) is well detected and it was brighter than  \nR~17 (compared to USNO stars) already in the first frame.\n\nA complete analysis is in progress.\n\n[GCN OPS NOTE(10mar08): Per author's request, the \"VBLT\" in the \nSubject-line was changed to \"VLT\".]",
