The "XVth Italian meeting on Active Galactic Nuclei: from the present-day Universe to the Dark Ages"  is set to uphold a three-decade-long tradition of convening experts to share and discuss contemporary research spanning the breadth of AGN phenomenology, physics, and modelling. Emphasis will be placed on the unique perspectives of Italian astronomy within this realm. The conference will delve into a range of topics, including:

1.  The Central Engines of AGN, accretion and ejections (including relativistic jets), and analogies with stellar mass black holes   
2.  The Circumnuclear Regions 
3.  Coevolution of Black Holes and Galaxies and AGN Feedback
4.  Time domain and variability studies
5.  Perspectives offered by the ground and space based instrumentation under development with Italian participation 6.  Multimessenger Studies and multiwavelength Surveys, including gravitational wave and neutrino astronomy
