We present an update of the Bologna Open Clusters Chemical Evolution project (BOCCE, in short). We are conducting a photometric and spectroscopic survey of Open Clusters, to be used as tracers of the Galactic disk properties and evolution. We obtain the clusters parameters (age, distance, metallicity, and detailed abundances) in a precise and homogeneous way. We have collected data for about 40 Open Clusters and have fully analyzed the photometric data for about one half and the spectra for one quarter of them. We present here results based on these works and indicate what will come next.
