I will present the final results of the K20 survey, a recently completed (2003) VLT Large Program aimed at deriving the redshift distribution of a complete sample of 550 field galaxies with Ks<20 distributed over two independent fields covering a total area of 52 arcmin^2. Thanks to very deep spectroscopy specifically designed for faint high-redshift red galaxies, it was possible to reach an unprecedented spectroscopic redshift completeness (~92%) and to cover what was previously called the
