DESCRIPTION:Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are powered by accretion onto sup
 ermassive black holes and\, besides being among the most luminous sources 
 of radiation in the Universe\, they are also thought to play an important 
 role in the evolution of their host galaxies. \n\nX-ray emission is an ubi
 quitous property of AGN and\, being produced within a few gravitational ra
 dii from the supermassive black hole\, it can provide fundamental informat
 ion about the structure and geometry of the circumnuclear material\, as we
 ll as on the characteristics of the accretion flow. In my talk I will pres
 ent some recent studies of the obscuration and accretion properties of loc
 al AGN in the X-ray band\, focussing on the results obtained from the Swif
 t/BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey.
