Abstract. We present the results of a long--term program of monitoring of
the famous SN 1995N, observed both in photometry (UBVRIJHK bands) and
optical spectroscopy. The observations span a period of about 9 years. These
new data, together with others available in literature, extend from the X--ray
wavelengths to the radio, and allow to estimate the total energy radiated by the
supernova over a decade after its explosion.
