The study of the chemical composition of Planetary Nebulae in external galaxies is of paramount importance for the fields of stellar evolution and chemical enrichment history of galaxies. In recent years a number of spectroscopic studies with 6-8m-class telescopes have been devoted to this subject improving our knowledge of, among other, the time-evolution of the radial metallicity gradient in disk galaxies, the chemical evolution of dwarf galaxies, and stellar evolution at low metallicity.
