Description
Advanced Virgo, the project designed to make Virgo 10 times more sensitive, has finally been completed. The light is circulating in the arms and the detector is being commissioned, with the goal of joining the two LIGOs in the next observation run in early 2017. The story of the project, the main technology aspects and the short and mid-term perspectives are reviewed in this talk.
