Abstract
In local universe, early-type galaxies represent only 20% of the total number of galaxies, but contribute for more than 60% to the total mass.
As a consequence, the comprehension of the mechanisms driving the stellar mass accretion in spheroids is a fundamental step to understand the universe we see today.
In the last five years, deep HST surveys have given a boost to our knowledge on early-type galaxies, erasing some doubts and opening new ones.
In this talk I present some of the recent results, both on local and high-z (z ~ 2) spheroids, which allow us to gain insight on and to constrain their stellar mass assembly history.
