Higgs Compositeness: Why and How

The Higgs being a bound state of a new TeV-scale confining dynamics is arguably the simplest and sharpest solution to the Naturalness Problem. I will review the theoretical foundations of potentially viable Composite Higgs scenarios, their phenomenological signatures and the status of ongoing experimental searches at the LHC. I will also discuss the strong impact that present-day negative findings of Composite Higgs, and of other solutions to the Naturalness problems, are having on Fundamental Physics.
