The WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey (WINGS) is a long term project whose main goal is to establish the zero point and variance of properties of nearby clusters, and galaxies in them, to be used as a local reference in evolutionary studies.

To achieve such objective, wide-field multiwavelenght photometry and optical spectroscopy has been gathered and analysed for a sample of 77 X-ray emitting nearby galaxy clusters.

This contribution shows the current status of the project.
