Abstract

I shall summarise the main characteristics of the INFN Laboratorio Internazionale del Gran Sasso (LNGS), including a few historical elements, and its research programme, considering both the running experiments and the projects under development. I shall then give a few details on the main experiments, their recent result and the perspectives for the future.
