Scientific paper

The study of the ages of early-type galaxies and their dependence on galaxy mass and environment is crucial for understanding the formation and early evolution of galaxies. We review recent works on the M/L ratio evolution, as derived from an analysis of the Fundamental Plane of early-type galaxies at z~1 both in the field and in the clusters environment. We use the M/L ratio to derive an estimate of the galaxy age. We also use a set of high-S/N intermediate-resolution VLT spectra of a sample of early-type galaxies with 0.88
