  Recent cosmological and astrophysical observations point out that the
Universe is in accelerating expansion and filled up with non-luminous matter.
In order to explain the observed large scale structures and this accelerating
behavior one needs a huge amounts of Dark Energy and Dark Matter. Although many
attempts have been done, both at theoretical and experimental level, up to now
there are several models proposed to explain such mysterious components.
However, no final conclusion on the nature of dark components has been reached
up to now so the question is completely open. In this paper, we review, with no
claim of completeness, the recent results and ideas underlying Dark Energy and
Dark Matter issues.
