Long observational campaigns were performed by BeppoSAX on Her X-1 and Vela X-1. The total amount of spacecraft time spent observing these two sources is ~ 1000 ks for Her X-1 and ~ 600 ks for Vela X-1. In the case of Her X-1, the observations were performed during the 35 d main--on (in July 1996) and during the 35 d short on (in July 1998). The BeppoSAX observations show large part of the extremely rich observational scenario of this source: eclipse ingress and egress; pre-eclipse dips; anomalous dips; fading during the trailing edge of the short-on. In the case of Vela X-1, three separate observations performed in 1996 and 1997 cover large part of the NS orbit and one eclipse ingress. In this report we show results from the analysis of these observational campaigns, mainly focused on the medium/long term variations in the emission from the magnetized rotating NS, with emphasis on the properties of the cyclotron features present in the X-ray spectra of these sources.
