CUORICINO is a cryogenic detector running in Gran Sasso National Laboratories, Italy since 2003. With its 40.7 kg of 130TeO2 mass, in the form of an array of 62 crystals it has proved the feasibility of CUORE experiment, whose aim is to be sensitive to value of the effective neutrino mass as low as few tens of meV. It has moreover set the currently lower limit on the lifetime of 130Te for neutrinoless double beta decay: we will report on the up-to date CUORICINO results and discuss the perspectives for CUORE.
