Description
We review the observational status of the Supernova/Gamma-Ray Burst connection. Most observations collected in the last 15 years show that long duration Gamma-ray Bursts are associated with broad lines SNe-LBC, although a few exceptions do exist. Current estimates of the SN and GRB rates yield a ratio GRB/SNe-LBC less (or much less) than 3%. We discuss the reasons for this small ratio.
