Hard X-ray surveys like those provided by IBIS and BAT on board INTEGRAL and Swift satellites list a significant number of sources which are unidentified and unclassified and deserve multiwaveband observations to be properly characterized.
We extracted a set of 94 AGN from the INTEGRAL/IBIS and Swift/BAT surveys for which we performed an optical study to properly classify each source and an X-ray study, to determine absorption and 2-10 flux by means of XMM-Newton and Swift/XRT observations.
Using a new diagnostic diagram we identified a few peculiar sources which apparently do not fit within the AGN unified theory.
Finally, we have compared the optical versus X-ray properties of these 94 AGN to check correlation between [OIII] luminosity and hard X-ray luminosity and to study the Optical dust absorption against
the X-ray gas absorption.
