  In this paper I will briefly review what are, in my view, the main
contributions of BeppoSAX to the understanding of the class of sources known as
Soft Gamma Repeaters. These enigmatic sources were firmly identified as steady
pulsars just during the operating lifetime of BeppoSAX. All the instruments
onboard BeppoSAX have at some level contributed in this field with specific
observations, always allowing high quality - sometimes unprecedented - studies
of the quiescent counterparts or the bursting behavior of these sources. I will
try to stress the results that were uniquely achieved by BeppoSAX and identify
their impact on the knowledge of the physics at work in these sources.
