This talk will present the results of recent high resolution studies of the nuclear regions of active galaxies with Chandra. With these data we are setting observational constraints on the parameters of AGN feedback, which is considered a main agent in galaxy evolution. I will also report the very recent discovery of a close double supermassive black hole in one of these galaxies.
