After a short introduction on Double Beta Decay (DBD), general features of a bolometric experiment to search for neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (Ov-DBD) of Te-130 are outlined. The appeal of Te-130 as a DBD emitter is emphazized. After a brief description of the now closed Mi-DBD experiment, the CUORICINO experiment, an expansion of Mi-DBD, is presented and the first experimental results are given, together with a discussion on the background issues and the consequent sensitivity. CUORE experiment, a new generation Ov-DBD search, is proposed on the basis of the experience and information gathered with the realization and running of Mi-DBD and CUORICINO. The CUORE structure is presented and the ultimate sensitivity to Majorana neutrino mass is discussed. In case of inverse neutrino mass hierarchy, the CUORE discovery potential is shown to be large.

Abstract
After a short introduction on Double Beta Decay (DBD), general features of a bolometric experiment to search for neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (Ov-DBD) of Te-130 are outlined. The appeal of Te-130 as a DBD emitter is emphazized. After a brief description of the now closed Mi-DBD experiment, the CUORICINO experiment, an expansion of Mi-DBD, is presented and the first experimental results are given, together with a discussion on the background issues and the consequent sensitivity. CUORE experiment, a new generation Ov-DBD search, is proposed on the basis of the experience and information gathered with the realization and running of Mi-DBD and CUORICINO. The CUORE structure is presented and the ultimate sensitivity to Majorana neutrino mass is discussed. In case of inverse neutrino mass hierarchy, the CUORE discovery potential is shown to be large.
