Title: Final products of stellar evolution in high metallicity 
environments and the UV upturn in Elliptical Galaxies
Speaker:  Giovanni Carraro

Abstract:
I will review the properties of the old, metal rich, massive open 
cluster NGC 6791. First of all I will show how its properties help us to 
better understand the origin of the UV upturn in the spectral energy 
distribution of massive local volume ellipticals. Second, I will discuss 
the possible origin of this unique object in the framework of the Milky 
Way chemical and dynamical evolution.
