We summarize the results of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) working group of the ARENA project. The focus has been on precision measurements of CMB polarization (looking for the echoes of cosmological inflation) and high angular resolution CMB measurements (looking for Sunyaev Zeldovich effect in distant clusters of Galaxies, to probe the evolution of the Universe, Dark Matter and Dark Energy). For both projects the Dome C site represents the best choice worldwide.
