Abstract

We review the basic properties of the different supernova types identified in the current taxonomy, with emphasis on the more recent developments. To help orienting in the variegate zoo, the optical photometric and spectroscopic properties of the different supernova types are presented in a number of summary figures.

We also report the latest estimates of the supernova rates and stress the need for a dedicated effort to measure SN rates at high redshift

Most of the material presented in this paper has been retrieved from the Padova Archive of SN observations. This is the product of a long standing effort for the monitoring of SNe conducted using ESO-La Silla and Asiago telescopes (Turatto et al. 1990).
