The space mission CoRoT (COnvection, ROtation and planetary Transits) will offer the possibility to detect extrasolar planets by means of the transit method. The satellite will observe about 60000 targets in the range 11.0<V<16.0, located in five fields near the equator. The parts of the preparatory work in which the Italian community has been involved are described, with a particular emphasis on the observations to characterize the fields, on the effects of stellar activity and background stars and on the outreach activities. We performed a quantitative evaluation of instrumental and stellar effects in the planetary transit detection and a more careful evaluation of the stellar content of some specific stellar fields. Also considering the ...
