Abstract
Our view of the stellar populations in globular clusters has radically changed in the last years. Now we are coming to believe that all globular clusters host at least two distinct stellar populations. We present in this contribution preliminary results of a photometric survey we are currently conducting to disentangle photometrically the several populations in a significant number of Galactic globular clusters, using the Strömgren system, aiming to characterize their relative ratios and their radial distributions....
