Abstract
The AGILE satellite detected a significant gamma-ray flare from 3C 273 between 2010-01-06 16 50 UT and 2010-01-08 07 50 UT (ATel #2376). The robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile), following a periodical monitoring program, observed automatically the field of the blazar 3C 273 in the first part of January 2010. Optical images were obtained using ROSS on 2010 January 1, 7, 8, 9 and 10 in the V, R, and I bands.
