  We present the nature of 50 hard X-ray emitting objects unveiled through an
optical spectroscopy campaign performed at seven telescopes in the northern and
southern hemispheres. These objects were detected with Swift-BAT and listed as
of unidentified nature in the 54-month Palermo BAT catalogue. In detail, 45
sources in our sample are identified as active galactic nuclei of which, 27 are
classified as type 1 (with broad and narrow emission lines) and 18 are
classified as type 2 (with only narrow emission lines). Among the broad-line
emission objects, one is a type 1 high-redshift quasi-stellar object, and among
the narrow-line emission objects, one is a starburst galaxy, one is a X-ray
bright optically normal galaxy, and one is a low ionization nuclear emission
line region. We report 30 new redshift measurements, 13 confirmations and 2
more accurate redshift values. The remaining five objects are galactic sources:
three are Cataclismic Variables, one is a X-ray Binary probably with a low mass
secondary star, and one is an active star.
