The preliminary reduction of a spectrum
of SN 2008D (Transient in NGC 2770) taken with TNG+LRS
(range 350 - 780 nm) on Jan 11.1 resembles
that of the energetic type Ic SN 2006aj 3 days after explosion (Pian et
al, 2006, Nature 442 1011). The SiII-635.5nm  feature shows  an  higher
expansion velocity  than in  SN  2006aj.  The  bluer  bumbs seen  in SN
2006aj spectrum, centered at  about 440  and 500  nm, are not  yet well
developed, also
suggesting an higher expansion velocity.
