Abstract
CUORE will be one of the next generation experiments designed for the search of a rare nuclear events such as Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay. It will be a closely packed array of TeO2 crystals operating at the cryogenic temperature of 10 mK. While presenting the main reasons and ideas behind CUORE, the results of its smaller scaled prototype, Cuoricino, will be shown. Cuoricino consists of an array of 62 bolometric detectors operating in anti-coincidence to reduce background events: it took datas for 4 years, being the largest bolometric experiment who operated until now in the search for rare events.
