In the last years much attention has been devoted to the relativistic distortions of Kα iron line profiles seen by X-ray satellite missions. The interest in such high-energy spectral distortions arised especially after the detection of the broad, asymmetric profile of the iron fluorescent line in the X-ray data of the Seyfert galaxy MCG-6-30-15 (Tanaka et al. 1995), whose shape is thought to be due to general-relativistic effects taking place at only a few gravitational radii from the event horizon of the central black hole. Also the large equivalent width of the line and the position of its centroid energy may be understood if the line is produced in a medium with fast rotational motion, very near to a black hole (e.g. Martocchia & Matt 1996; Martocchia, Karas & Matt 2000; Martocchia 2000, and references therein)...
