Sumario:The ICARUS experiment consists of an imaging liquid Argon TPC detector providing high granularity and high accuracy measurements over large sensitive volumes. This multipurpose detector opens up unique opportunities to look for phenomena beyond the Standard Model through the study of atmospheric, solar and supernova neutrinos, nucleon decay searches and neutrinos from the CERN to Gran Sasso beam. A summary of the general physics program of the ICARUS experiment is reported. 15 Refs.
