Abstract: DAMA is searching for rare processes by developing and using several kinds of radiopure scintillators: in particular, NaI(Tl), liquid Xenon and CaF$_2$(Eu). Here only the results released so far on the WIMP annual modulation signature are summarized and compared with results from other experiments, including the recent re-analysis of CDMS-I data. Next perspectives are also shortly addressed.<br />Comment: Talk at DARK2002 Conference, Cape Town, South Africa, 4-9 Feb 2002
