Abstract.
Since 50s, K\"ahler manifolds have been attracting much attention as a special subclass of complex manifolds, that is, geometric objects locally modelled on open subsets of the complex Euclidean space. In fact, they share many properties with projective manifolds, --- their algebraic counterpart. This is due to the very feature of K\"ahler manifolds: three different structures, --- complex, symplectic, Riemannian, --- closely intertwine to make analytic methods available.
Non-K\"ahler Geometry is the attempt to carry out a chemical analysis of these different structures, in order to understand their specific role, and to interpret methods and results into a wider context. Moreover, the construction of non-K\"ahler manifolds also answers to the demand of theoretical physics models, e.g. in type II String Theory.
From this point of view, we will address some questions concerning cohomological and metric aspects in Complex Geometry.
