The emergence of a new population of radio galaxies at mJy and sub-mJy levels is responsible for the change in the slope of the radio source counts. This population seems to include both star forming galaxies and classical (AGN-powered) radio sources, but the relative importance of the two classes is still debated. We present results from the ATESP radio survey and its optical follow-up and show that the fraction of starburst galaxies changes from ～ 15% at fluxes ≥ 1 mJy to ≥ 50% at lower fluxes. 1. Introduction Recently, deep radio surveys (S ～ 1 mJy) have shown that normalized radio counts show a flattening below a few mJy, (see figure 1 for counts at 1.4 GHz). This change of slope is generally interpreted as being due to the presence of a new population of radio sources (the so–called sub–mJy population) which does not show up at higher flux densities (see e.g. Condon 1989), where the counts are dominated by classical radio galaxies and quasars. The sub-mJy population is essentially composed by low luminosity AGN and starburst galaxies, but their relative comtribution is still not firmely estab- lished. Unfortunately, due to the long observing times required to reach faint fluxes, the existing samples in the sub–mJy region are generally small. The identification work and the subsequent spectroscopy are very demand- ing in terms of telescope time. Typically, no more than ～ 50? 60% of the radio sources in sub–mJy samples have been identified on optical images, even th
