Title: "The role of top quark physics in the Higgs era"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract:

The present status of top-quark experimental physics is reviewed, in the context of 
the Higgs boson discovery. The role of the heaviest known fermion in understanding 
the electroweak symmetry breaking and in opening the road to new physics is 
discussed. Recent top mass measurements and other measurements of top quark 
properties are presented, together with top quark production studies at the LHC.
