Abstract
Astrophysics of High Energies has been historically based on radio, X-ray and γ-ray data. Understanding the mechanism and the site of acceleration of Cosmic Rays, has been probably the most important goal of this discipline. Recently high energy neutrinos and gravitational waves have shown up as new messengers and we expect a major role from X-ray observations, to understand the nature and location of the emitters. In fact X-rays have been for more than half a century the driver to study the Violent Universe. Yet one feature of this messengers, the Polarimetry, is still totally unexploited. Within a few years, a mission will add two important parameters to understand the physical context of high energy phenomena, namely the amount and angle of X-ray polarimetry.
