Abstract: We study a particular class of rationally connected manifolds, $Xsubset{p}^N$, such that two general points $x,x^{\prime }inX$ may be joined by a conic contained in $X$. We prove that these manifolds are Fano, with $b_{2}leq2$. Moreover, a precise classification is obtained for $b_2=2$. Complete intersections of high dimension with respect to their multi-degree provide examples for the case $b_2=1$. The proof of the classification result uses a general characterization of rationality, in terms of suitable covering families of rational curves.
