We review the most recent observational results on the formation and evolution of early-type galaxies and their mass assembly by focusing on: the existence, properties and role of distant old, massive, passive systems to z~2, the stellar mass function evolution, the ``downsizing'' scenario, and the high-z precursors of massive early-type galaxies.
