%X Core-collapse supernovae (SN) represent a unique laboratory to probe neutrino properties in the extreme conditions offered by a stellar gravitational collapse. The role of astrophysical messengers played by neutrinos during a stellar collapse is largely associated with the signatures imprinted on the observable SN neutrino burst by flavor conversions occurring deep inside the star. At this regard, the dense SN core represents a crucial environment to investigate neutrino flavor mixing in high-density conditions. Indeed, within a radius of a few hundred kilometers, the neutrino gas is so dense to become a 'background to itself', making the neutrino flavor evolution highly non-linear and leading in some situations to surprising and counterintuitive collective phenomena.
