Summary

The Bologna Open Cluster Chemical Evolution (BOCCE) project is intended to study the disk of our Galaxy using open clusters as tracers of its properties. We are building a large sample of clusters, deriving homogeneously their distance, age, reddening, and detailed chemical composition. Among our sample we have several objects more metal-rich than the Sun and we present here first results of the analysis for NGC 6819, IC 4651, NGC 6134, NGC 6791, and NGC 6253, the last two being the most metal-rich open clusters known.
