The aim of the course is to critically discuss the most relevant issues - some of them still open - concerning Modern Cosmology. We will illustrate its state-of-the-art, and the methods - both theoretical and observational - currently used to investigate its properties. We will further provide a coherent vision which starts from the Big Bang and arrives to the formation of the first galaxies.
