Abstract (EN): One particular fact that is helping us to understand the mechanisms of planetary formation has to do with the planet host stars themselves. In fact, these were found to have, on average, a metal content higher than the one found in stars without detected planetary companions. In this contribution we will mainly focus on the most recent results on the chemical abundances of planet-host stars, and what kind of constraints they are bringing to the theories of planet formation.
