	The SPARC project foresees the realization of a high brightness photo-injector to produce a 150-200 MeV electron beam to drive a SASE-FEL in the visible light. As a first stage of the commissioning a complete characterization of the photoinjector has been done with a detailed study of the emittance compensation process downstream the gun-solenoid system. For this purpose a novel beam diagnostic device, called emittance meter, has been developed and used at SPARC. This device has allowed to measure the evolution of beam sizes, energy spread and rms transverse emittances at different location along the beamline, in the region where space-charge effects dominate the electron dynamics and the emittance compensation process takes place. In this paper we report our commissioning experience and the results obtained. In particular a comparison between the performances of a Gaussian laser pulse versus a Flat Top laser pulse will be discussed. We report also the first experimental observation of the double emittance minima effect on which is based the optimised matching with the SPARC linac.

	SPARC-X is a two branch project consisting in the SPARC test facility dedicated to the development and test of critical subsystems such as high brightness photoinjector and a modular expandable undulator for SASE-FEL experiments at 500 nm with seeding, and the SPARX facility aiming at generation of high brightness coherent radiation in the 3-13 nm range, based on the achieved expertise. The projects are supported by MIUR (Research Department of Italian Government) and Regione Lazio. SPARC has completed the commissioning phase of the photoinjector in November 2006. The achieved experimental results are here summarized together with the status of the second phase commissioning plans. The SPARX project is based on the generation of ultrahigh peak brightness electron beams at the energy of 1 and 2 GeV generating radiation in the 3-13 nm range. The construction is at the moment planned in two steps starting with a 1 GeV Linac. The project layout including both RF-compression and magnetic chicane techniques has been studied and compared, together with the feasibility of a mixed s-band and x-band linac option.
