Scientific paper

This paper is an introduction to some of the main present issues in the theory of structural glasses. After recalling a few experimental facts, it gives a short account of the analogy between fragile glasses and the mean field discontinuous spin glasses. The many valley picture is presented, and a brief account of recent attempts to obtain quantitative results from first principle computations is summarised.
