Abstract

I introduce and sketch the main features of those see-saw models where a large atmospheric mixing can be achieved starting from nearly diagonal matrices for charged leptons, Dirac neutrinos and Majorana right-handed neutrinos. It turns out that these models can be realized in Grand Unified Theories and they are well compatible with the related phenomenology of fermion masses and mixings.
