SUMMARY:Galactic Globular Clusters: Why should we care about them?
DESCRIPTION:Galactic Globular Clusters: Why should we care about them?\nDr.
  Santi Cassisi\n\nGalactic globular clusters have always been at the cross
 road of several investigations\nin both Stellar and Galactic Astrophysics.
  For long time, they have been considered\nthe prototypes of Simple Stella
 r Populations, and hence used for testing and calibrating\nstellar evoluti
 onary models as well as population synthesis tools. Nowadays, after the \n
 discovery of the presence of multiple stellar populations in almost all Ga
 lactic GCs, we know\nthat this assumption is no longer valid. The process(
 es) of formation and early evolution \nof these star clusters is (are) ver
 y far to be understood, and any scenario so far envisaged is\nseverely cha
 llenged by the pletora of empirical evidence collected till now. In the sa
 me time,\nthanks to the availability of an impressive observational framew
 ork - collected by combining\nkinematic measurements from Gaia mission, wi
 th data provided by large spectroscopic and \nphotometric surveys -, GCs a
 re playing a crucial role for our understanding of the\nassembly history o
 f the Milky Way.\nWe will review our present knowledge about these importa
 nt stellar systems, discussing the \nseveral, open issues related to their
  formation/evolution, and discuss how we can use them\nin our effort to de
 pict the Milky Way assembly history.
