This paper intends to collect available data on searches for scalar resonances at LHC. It is suggested that, in the absence of SUSY, the most compelling picture is the composite framework, with the idea that the lightest particles are composite scalars of the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone type, emerging from a broken symmetry at a higher scale, the h(125) boson being one of them. Searches in two-photons, Z-photon, ZZ into 4 leptons, top, h and W pairs are reviewed. A recent search based on lepton tagging from a spectator W/Z is also discussed. Aside from the already well-known scalar observed by CMS and LEP2 at 96 GeV, I discuss the evidence and the interpretation for a possible resonance observed in ZZ around 700 GeV by CMS and ATLAS and some evidence for a CP-odd scalar at ~400 GeV. Future searches at HL-LHC and at $e^+e^-$ colliders are briefly sketched.
