We present the first measurement of AGN clustering in the local Universe obtained with the 100% spectroscopically complete sample of the Swift all-sky survey. This provides, for the first time, a view of AGN clustering which is not biased by dust absorption. Since our energy band is not sensitive to photoelectric absorption. Our measurements include the contribution of highly absorbed, even Compton Thick, AGN which have always been neglected in this kind of study. The study of clustering in the local universe =0.02 is fundamental for testing current models of AGN formation which are based on galaxy merging. We have computed for the first time the 3D autocorrelation function of AGN with 14-200 keV luminosity 42
