Star clusters as tracers of galactic nuclei properties
  We present a series of $N$-body simulations representing the evolution of a
galactic nucleus and its stellar content in a nearly one-to-one representation.
The aim of this suite of simulations is to shed light on the interplay between
nuclear clusters (NCs), super-massive black holes (SMBH) and the galactic
nuclei in which they are contained. We modelled galaxies with masses from few
times $10^8$ to $10^{11}$ M$_\odot$, hosting in their nucleus a number of
globular clusters and, in some cases, a central SMBH.
