Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay is a hypothesised nuclear process in which two
neutrons simultaneously decay into protons with no neutrino emission. The
prized observation of this decay would point to the existence of a process that
violates a fundamental symmetry of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, and
would allow to establish the nature of neutrinos. Today, the lower limits on
the half-life of this process exceed 10$^{25}$-10$^{26}$ yr. I will review the
current status of the searches for Double Beta Decay and the perspectives to
enhance the experimental sensitivity in the next years.
