  I discuss the important role that Lattice QCD plays in testing the Flavor
sector of the Standard Model (SM) and in indirect searches of New Physics. I
review in particular the Unitarity Triangle Analysis performed by the UTfit
collaboration within and beyond the SM, presenting the recent accurate lattice
results that enter the analyses. I conclude with a tentative outlook to the
further progresses that we can expect in the next years from Flavor Lattice
QCD.
